Nobody's really using it.  Most Intel servers are FBDIMM, and the very few applications for ECC DDR3 have been dominated by very large OEMs, so it's probably on allocation from most suppliers, as the OEMs gear up for a transition to DDR3.

I don't want to get a mac.

Highly, highly unlikely. Why? Because the iPhone uses a miniaturized version of desktop Mac OS X and thus programs developed for it use a slightly modified version of Obj-C/Cocoa (what most Mac apps are written with), which has been Mac-only ever since before Apple adopted the aqua interface into the OS X developer betas (somewhere around late 1998/1999).

Huh?  What are you smoking?

It's highly unlikely for a different reason: 

iPhone is a goldmine.  A Mac is a paperweight/status symbol/idiot computer (do they still have one mouse button?   My mouse has 8 buttons - and scrolling - and that's not enough. Mx518 - 8 buttons + scroll. )

If I really want to dev for iPhone - I guess I might be forced to buy a Mac - for just that reason, and only that reason.

iindigo:
My point is because the iPhone SDK shares a lot of stuff with the standard Mac one, they'd pretty much have to port Cocoa and the OS X SDK to Windows as well.

And umm, Macs have come standard with multibutton mice for several years now, and it's not like you can't pick up a $15 Logitech mouse and plug it in. Hell, your Mx518 would work perfectly. I personally use a 4-button Logitech trackball with mine.

As iindigo said, since the iPhone runs OS X it shares lots of the same developer tools. Apple would have to port their entire XCode developer suite to windows to make the iPhone SDK for windows. I don't see that happening, when its much easier to tell people to get a mac.
