Strangely, there are a bunch of low-end pentiums that support ECC.

Probably "industrial" low-end pentiums, for projects where reliability is needed but even a Xeon E3 would be overkill.

The thing is that it is considered that ECC in RAM is not needed for consumer electronics, but that's utterly insane.

For the lightweight home/small office server-type things, aren't they?
