Well that sucks. I dug into your info a bit as well, and it seems true. Registered ecc ram that servers tend to use won't work on consumer desktops.

Good thing I don't plan on upgrading my PC for at least a few more years.

As a side note, I'm pissed off the ram and storage inventory issue has delayed Valves new steam VR headset release. I've never bought VR anything before and was looking forward to it.
