Who cares, you buy ten. Thats the PC server mentality most businesses operate with. "It blew up" is followed by "thats ok, there are six spare ones in the cupboard". Systems are essentially disposable. If you need ECC you pay a little bit extra for the RAM, and "serious" data lives on the corporate file servers not the PC systems.
