FYI, EC2's machines do have ECC ram. They don't advertise it, though.

  Can you cite a source please? A little more than an anonymous one-liner in a forum would really help my confidence...

    No source aside from personal experience working with them, sorry. They avoid publicizing anything about the hardware/infrastructure if possible, partly so that they can change it without customer awareness and partly because they have secret sauce in places (no, ECC isn't secret sauce).

      Okay, I guess I'll take that as another datapoint, although honestly (no offense) I won't be basing decisions on it. ;)

    Phoronix' benchmarking test suite has been able to detect underlying hardware: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amazon_ec2_exhaustive&num=1 http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amazo...
