I don't mean to keep arguing here, but it's not any more expensive
than the same speed DDR-2 667MHz memory.  for ECC memory memory,
they're almost the same price.

That's memory for my Dell PowerEdge web server, and it's $105.99 for 2
1Gig sticks.  $56.99 * 2 = $113.98.  It's only 7.99 more.  I get the
point about not wanting to anger the wife, but maybe if you ask for it
nice for Christmas?  :)
