What exactly is ECC? One of few advertised hardware specs that I've never bothered to decipher.

It's not just manufacturing costs, it's R&D costs as well as supply/demand that determines the costs.

Supply and Demand. That's why EVERYTHING moves up and down in price.

 

[Wingznut]

Might want to take a basic economics class.

probably because you edited your post after original one. in conclusion, you have too much time on your hands. go do some community service or something.
