Good thoughts. Thanks.
Two questions:
(1) IIRC, some
operating systems, seeing
some ECC errors, maybe
just the uncorrectable ones
or maybe also the correctable
ones, moved to mark the associated
memory, or block of memory,
as faulty, maybe stopping the
(applications)
program using that memory, and continued on. Is this done with current operating systems?
(2)
What would Windows Server do
with a thread, process, address space or whatever the heck that
encountered a memory error
detected by ECC, especially
one that was uncorrectable?
I'm eager to know since I'm
eager to build a server,
with ECC memory, and run
Windows Server in production.

(2) So as far is I know, the normal consequence of a detected multi bit error will be a system reset.
