Intel i210 and Intel i219-LM servers are used in the network, which also includes a management gigabit LAN, which is provided by Realtek RTL8211E. It also contains an Aspeed AST2500 graphics chip for management, as well as 256MB of DDR4 dedicated video RAM.

There are ECC SO-DIMMs. That way you get the best of both worlds: more room to fit more memory, and ECC support.

Frankly, I don't really understand why "regular" DIMMs are still a thing, at least for desktops. I can see how fitting 256GB on a SO-DIMM would be difficult.
