Those corner cases might occur rarely but are probably inconsequential given rate of occurrence versus rate of criticalness - it probably doesn't justify the markup for most. In a data center you're processing millions of transactions per minute so occurrence is much more impactful.
- xxs 6y agoYou need 1/8 more memory - that's real the cost. It's pretty much Intel's fault for the segmentation.
- knorker 6y agoI would EASILY pay 12.5% more (that's the bit overhead) for memory that actually works. If my data is fine being corrupted to save 12.5% on RAM costs, then why am I even bothering processing the data? Apparently it's worthless. People today weigh the cost of maybe 16 vs 32GB on a mid-tier desktop. ~doubling the cost for twice the RAM. Yes, paying 12.5% more for ECC RAM is a no-brainer.
