That's the problem with bitflips isn't it? It's only a possibility that can be considered when all other possibilities have been eliminated.
Whenever I've had non-ECC systems KPs/BSODs, it's possible that it might just be due to a bug, but in the back of my mind, I know there's always the possibility that it was due to a bitflip.
I feel psychologically uncomfortable working on a computer without ECC. I say ECC everything - Desktops, Laptops, and even smartphones.
This laptop proclaims a maximum of 64GB of RAM. If you do populate the slots with that much non-ECC RAM, that only further increases the surface area for random bitflips. What use is more RAM in a Linux laptop if it hasn't been made more reliable?
It's high time more laptops shipped with ECC. At least unregistered ECC, if not buffered ones.
