Memory ECC won't help if computations are incorrect.

Good computations won't help if your memory is corrupt.

That's not what soundsop was saying - he was just pointing out the obivous error in the suggestion to overclock the CPU, and then use ECC to be safe. The ECC, though a good idea by itself, will not help with any errors introduced by the overclock.
