I think that GW2K was one of the first companies (if not the first) to ship PC-compatible machines without parity memory. The low-margin industry followed, and pretty soon all peecees were non-parity, non-ECC. The public doesn't understand that they pay for that in reliability. (Me, I buy Xeons. We shouldn't have to worry about single-bit errors.)
