If nothing else, the cost savings in no longer having to actually worry about that vector of data corruption are well worth the small delta in cost.

I'm actually rather amazed that at least error /detecting/ ram isn't more common.

I think consumer CPUs don't support it only to maintain market segmentation for server CPUs.

I don’t disagree - it is silent data corruption I really worry about not the odd kernel panic.
