largest amount of RAM cache (non ECC or ECC)

~
I was wondering about what is the largest amount of RAM a reliable
X86 motherboard (preferably a I32 one) can take.
~
There are mobos out there with 4 RAM slots, so buying 1Gb sticks will
easily give you a 4Gb box, but I wonder what would people do when they
need more RAM in a regular X86 box
~
Also, does the difference in performance between ECC and non-ECC
memory justify the difference in price?
~
Thanks
