And 12.5% more cost. When the PC market moved to SIMM
memory (predecessor of
DIMM), that led to companies selling fake parity SIMMs, by putting a parity
generator chip on the SIMM instead of the RAM chip for the parity bit.
If only that mere 12.5% price uplift were still the case.
For useful sizes of RAM (which is about 8-32GB these days) you're looking at
?5/GB for the non-ECC ricer junk and ?10/GB for ECC RAM that gives some
confidence it might actually work.
