If you sincerely /need/ ECC, any amount of money is of no concern because you need it. It's just a cost of doing business, as accountants might say.

If you just /want/ ECC, then yes $450 bucks is expensive. You don't /need/ it, though, so this is neither here nor there.

The whole point of this article and discussion says otherwise. Don't come to me to complain about that. Your comment should be a top-level comment complaining at the author.

I fully agree with the author that ECC should not be reserved for expensive computers, of course, but I'm just here to point out that W680 is not a response to the author's concerns at all, period. W680 is a continuation of Intel's status quo.

Also, you can use asterisks to create italics.
