I don’t know about you, but I use my RAM for a lot more than a browser.

What nerd edge case do you want to talk about that is so important you need ECC?

Improved overall system stability and data accuracy? With error correction, you can also push performance farther, since you can tolerate a certain amount of errors, instead of needing to aim for 0% error rate.
