Now most professionals, people who build server-boxes, probably wouldn't
be caught dead putting non-ECC memory into a system. But THEY know what

Well, no. The *customer* has a check list, and ECC is on it. Otherwise the
"people who build server boxes" would put non-ECC memory in it and pocket the
cost differential.

However geeks like that don't talk to home-PC customers.
I'll bet most put ECC memory in their own systems at home though.

So, how many desktop chipsets actually even support ECC these days?
