If I'm not mistaken, all Xeon E5 and E7 processors support registered ECC memory. Many (if not most) multi-socket Xeon motherboards won't even let you install non-ECC memory.
Here's the thing... there's really not much of a point in ECC memory for most desktops and laptops. In servers, sure... in mission critical applications even a tiny memory error could have devastating consequences. But for someone browsing facebook? Nah.
- frou_dh 10y agoWhat's the point of perpetuating a miserly "they don't need/deserve $BETTER_TECH" attitude? The general march of progress in computing has been about better technology iteratively trickling down to everybody. I don't "need" my phone to have a 64bit CPU, but I'll take it. Glad it does. No doubt a few years ago someone was saying... "64bit should be a PC thing. Phones? Nah." ...like it was some kind of law, rather than just the point-in-time market situation.
