Consider that the probability 16GB of SDRAM experiences at least one single bit error at sea level, in a given 6 hour period exceeds 66% = 1 - (1 - 1.3e-12 * 6)^(16 * 2^30 * 8). In any given 24 hour period, the probability of at least one single bit error exceeds 98%. Assuming the memory is good and functioning correctly;
application in the effected space, and moderately important data is being damaged well, that's just plain uncool
Having limited knowledge of which consumer devices support ECC memory and which don't I was pleasantly surprised to find out the always on IBM thinkpad I ran for years refused to work with non-ECC memory.
