asciilifeform: http://lambda-diode.com/opinion/ecc-memory-2 < " Nevertheless, this means that when you buy a computer, you are playing "DIMM" (and motherboard) roulette . You have something like one chance in three to ten of getting a computer that will experience memory errors at the frightening frequencies (one every few days) that I talked about but attributed to cosmic rays, and that AMD talks about in their whitepaper .

the fact that so many folks appear to get away with using non-ecc ram is proof that almost nothing that is presently done using pc, actually matters

supposedly back when ram cells were larger (larger targets) the ram manufacturers took care to ensure that their cases were low alpha emitters
[00:04]

and also sealed the silicon in a layer of protective coating

anyway, given how cheap and easy it is to use ecc ram, it does seem rather laughable that folks don't use
