With that much RAM, you'd be insane not to use ECC, which is another good reason for Xeon.

Or AMD, which supports ECC across all (most?) CPU lines historically. Again, the argument is about limitations of Intel consumer lines.

Question is, is buying those historical AMD CPUs which support ECC a good idea?

So far, none of the modern ones are confirmed to support ECC.
