Anecdotal, but ever since running my workstation with >64GB ram, I’ve had stretches of unexplained behavior. Switching to ECC for the past 3yrs, these random errors no longer surface. It’s a 24/7 only reboot for patching machine.
I thought it was just a luxury feel good investment, but the longer I run without errors, the more real the problem seems.
The larger the memory capacity, the higher the probability of bit flips, so that likely plays a role.
