> Well, non-ECC RAM can report "0 errors" for less money. "0 errors" is very different from "ECC not available," and that's a distinction I'd expect the operating system to be able to make. For example, here's how Linux shows ECC and non-ECC memory reports: # ECC $ sudo edac-util -v mc0: 0 Uncorrected Errors with no DIMM info mc0: 0 Corrected Errors with no DIMM info edac-util: No errors to report. # Non-ECC $ sudo edac-util -v edac-util: Error: No memory controller data found.
