    is datacenter ram really not usable on personal PC’s? I figured it was the same as consumer ram but with ECC features, but I haven’t gone out of my way to try and buy any.

      They’re using the new SOCAMM standard, which current consumer hardware can’t use.

      It’s a different physical interface.

      Whether it will end up coming to consumer grade motherboards… 🤷‍♂️

        If it’s just a physical connector and doesn’t require a special CPU, then I could see motherboard makers making that switch if there’s a glut of the memory available.
