Indeed. I'd started to add an aside to the effect of 'ten years ago it was probably easier to go ECC'. I'll add it here instead. A decade ago if you wanted ECC your choice was basically Xeon, and all() Xeon motherboards would accept ECC. I agree that these days it's much more complex, since you are ineluctably going get sucked into the despair-spiral of trying to work out what combination of Ryzen + motherboard + ECC RAM will give you actual, demonstrable* ECC (with correction, not just detection).
