Here's one for RAM in servers, from Google: http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-10370026-264.html http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-10370026-264.html Found it here, which also goes into some testing the Guild Wars guys did on their population of gamer PCs: http://www.codeofhonor.com/blog/whose-bug-is-this-anyway http://www.codeofhonor.com/blog/whose-bug-is-this-anyway (scroll down to "Your computer is broken", around 1% of the systems they tested failed a CPU-to-RAM consistency stress test) Both of them indicate intermittently defective components in running systems are way more common than anybody assumes.

This is very interesting But when they say "Memory Error", even though it's something detected/corrected by ECC I'm not sure we can say 'the memory is defective' It may be a combination of the conditions of power/load/data/time since last refresh and variance between modules. Since Google appears not to show all the data they have, we probably are not going to get that from them though :/
