		ZiiS 64 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: 10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips It should be fairly easy to see statistically if ECC helps, people do run Firefox on it. The number of bits in registers, busses, cache layers is very small compared to the number in RAM. Obviously they might be hotter or more likely to flip.

I believe caches and maybe registers often have ECC too though I'm sure there are still gaps.
