Here's one example: looking at Firefox crash data, a fairly large percentage of crashes are caused by bitflips that corrupt data structures (e.g. making a null pointer which is null-checked into a non-null one that points off into memory that can't be read).
So what I really want is for everyone to default to ECC RAM. It would prevent issues like that to a large degree.
