> Can you please provide some real MTBF data? I don't have any data on MTBF rates in DIMMs. There was a study on single-bit ECC error rates in memory that IIRC concluded that the rate was about 1 error per gigabyte per two months. This study was looking at errors caused by high energy neutrons which came from the collision of cosmic rays with the upper atmosphere. Actual rates vary by location because of the shape of the earths magnetic field, and with altitude. But that was a very old study ... newer DIMMs made on denser silicon processes will most likely be more vulnerable to neutron strikes. -Tony -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
