I used to sell workstations and servers years ago and trying to convince people they needed ECC Ram and that it was just insurance for (often) just the price of the extra chips on the DIMMs was a nightmare.

The amount of uninformed and inexperienced counter arguments online suggesting it was purely Intel seeking extra money (even though they didn't sell RAM) was ridiculous.

I never understood why there was so much push back from the consumer world commenting on something they had no idea about. Similar arguments for why would you ever need xxGB of RAM while also condemning the incorrect 640kb RAM Bill Gates comment.
