| Nice upgrades, but no mention of ECC RAM, the single thing that I wanted from an upgrade for a decade? Why do chip makers refuse to take our money? :-P A few years ago we were told only "Pro" parts have ECC: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37828168 |

| to be fair, your money isn't as good as VC money for RAM at the moment |

| ▲ | vizzier 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | I'm open to being wrong, but so far as I understand it ECC mostly lives at the controller level and shares the same DRAM chips across all forms of server memory (including non-ecc), which is why we see price increases across all sectors including consumer. Those DRAM chips being the bottleneck that would require hard to build new silicon fabs to increase supply. |
