Yep ECC is very important as the memory size is to huge today that I
have learned the hard way on ZFS so I have moved back to Sparc from
desktop x64!

And it must be a well designed ECC covering internal buses aswell, to
receive a ECC failure a couple of times a year and see "corrected" makes
me feel comfortable I like faults when they are detected :)
