Let's not turn this into a discussion of the meaning of "rare". We don't disagree, I believe. Sure, software bugs are more frequent. The point is merely that non-ECC RAM is fairly buggy by design and no amount of software will eradicate the crashes due to RAM faults. If you have 32GB or 64GB of RAM these should appear not too rarely, provided you actually use that RAM. Standard desktop CPUs also have surprisingly high error rate, but it's hard to find good figures. I've tried to find some, but apparently Intel & Co. hold them under wraps nowadays.
