S, >I've done lots of microprocessor designs on large networks of Sun workstations, and never had a problem. It all sounds kind of bogus to me.

Tell it to ebay. Also, the Sun crashes that got the publicity were not on workstations but on medium - large servers, which were supposed to have availability "high in the nines". As it turned out, they came out one or two nines short. It's been said here before, but machines of the class that Sun had problems with, from IBM and clones, had cache ECC starting in the early 80s. Intel based servers started having cache ECC available in 1997. The folks that designed those machines didn't put cache ECC in just for laughs.
