Generally higher clock speeds (within a given processor architecture) enable better CAD performance. More cores, cache size and memory channels can be especially valuable for mega-tasking (many applications open), for analysis, and for rendering applications.
ECC memory is a de facto standard in the server realm where reliability and data integrity is critical. ECC memory detects and corrects the most common type of memory error on the fly. In workstations this reduces system hangs, blue screens, and data corruption potential. A modest investment in ECC memory will pay dividends over time.
