Error correction on RAM

I've my eye on this tasty little RAM addition to my motherboard :) However, a friend of mine had difficulty when he bought non-error correcting generic RAM online.

Now, I can't think of many uses for a stick of RAM outside of making your system run faster, so I would rather it actually worked in that capacity. Does anybody have any other experience of faulty RAM, or has the RAM on komplett's site have a warantee of any description?

I've had perfectly working sticks of ram go on me, also seen brand new ram fail to work. Very annoying, because you expect ram to be one of the last things to fail.
