Is ECC RAM better?
At the cost of a little money and performance, ECC RAM is many times more reliable than non-ECC RAM. And when high-value data is involved, that increase in reliability is almost always going to be worth the small monetary and performance costs. In fact, anytime it is possible to do so, we would recommend using ECC RAM.
Can we upgrade RAM DDR3 to DDR4?
No, it is not electrically nor electronically compatible. DDR4, for example, runs at 1.2V (volts) while DDR3 runs at 1.5V (or 1.35V for DDR3L).

What happens if I put DDR3 RAM in DDR4 slot?
All RAM isn’t the same and DDR3 and DDR4 can’t be used interchangeably. You can’t insert a DDR3 RAM stick into a DDR4 slot because it’s not backward-compatible. The stick won’t fit into the slot and, even if you did get it wedged in there somehow, your motherboard won’t recognize the format.
