ECC is only more expensive until the first time you have to spend multiple hours debugging an issue or recovering data due to memory corruption. My time and data are worth more than the $40 premium paid for the ECC unbuffered DIMMs in my Ryzen system. And that price premium would pretty much go away if every system shipped with ECC memory as the DRAM vendors would produce x9 chips instead of x8. Shame on Intel for segmenting ECC memory out of the consumer market.
