OK, devil's advocate here. Intel wants to segment it to make money. Perfecty rational, right?

Also consumers want it that way as ECC needs extra bits and run a few percent slower. If gamers are willing to overclock their CPUs then they probably don't much care for slower memory. And $cost.

I agree with you, but others have different priorities.

(not an intel shill BTW)

Then they can continue to buy and use non-ECC memory

That was my point.

Intel supporting ECC RAM would not preclude them from doing so
