Many people have strong opinions on why ECC RAM is not the standard in modern PCs… cosmic rays definitely can be a problem.
Despite ECC RAM being essentially a hard-to-find specialty part, it typically only costs about 20 percent more per DIMM than non-ECC does at retail. The real problem is that without motherboards and CPUs which support it, it won’t do you any good.
In case anyone here is looking for non-server hardware with true ECC RAM support (not to be confused with the inferior “on-die” ECC):
- Most Asus socket AM5 motherboards support ECC.
- The CPUs that fit those motherboards also support it.
- These Kingston ECC DIMMs are unbuffered, and fit those motherboards. They use Hynix DRAM chips (M-die, I think).
- These Micron ECC DIMMs are also unbuffered, and should work as well. (Note that the part numbers may vary in retail listings.)
Cosmic rays already cause errors in our world … by randomly interfering with DNA and causing tiny little errors which lead to mutations
But those mutations also lead to genetic evolution that allow future generations to either fail … or adapt to new environments
Yes, the video covers this.
The Game glitches look so unreal!
