Perhaps AMD could enable ECC on their consumer CPUs?

AMD does for their Athlon FX processors, but support is mostly dependent on the motherboard. With that said, most of the AMD motherboards for AM3+ support it, and it's limited to unbuffered ECC.

Unfortunately, that means choosing ECC over power and performance vs. Intel. It's really a sad state of affairs.

They do. Motherboard vendors often fail to support it, unfortunately, but the CPUs generally aren't the weak link.
