| - If you follow the advice on ECC memory then the processor must support ECC memory (not all do). All Xeon CPUs do, as do many Pentiums, Celerons, and Core i3 CPUs. No Core i5 or Core i7 CPUs support ECC. | - If you follow the advice on ECC memory then the processor must support ECC memory (not all do).

| - | - If using encryption select a processor that supports AES-NI. Otherwise, don’t use encryption; it results in too much of a performance hit. In fact, unless you have a specific legal requirement for full-disk encryption, don't use it. The risk of data loss is too great. | + | - If using encryption select a processor that supports AES-NI.
