> about 1 error per 2-GByte of memory per hour Wow! So that means a 16GB laptop will on average experience 8 memory errors per hour under moderate load? I had no idea it was that high. This likely explains why my Mac crashes randomly but incredibly rarely. It's like once every few months. I guess a bit flip happens at the wrong place about that often?

I would say that bit flipped in much less wrong place than the one that ended up corrupting some file on disk, unless you have a lot of insignificant data stored.

That was a research long time ago. I don't think it's that bad now. But it's certainly a real threat.
