Scumbria, >We used lots of Sun servers too. Some more points: 1. I can attest to computers in Sun's class having mysterious outages which couldn't be realistically blamed on anything else, and went away when cache ECC was installed. Here's a clue: machines installed at high altitude places like Denver and Salt Lake City, or in Nevada, had a much higher rate of failure. 2. Experiments were done on single chips that were bombarded from an Alpha source while being continuously tested on an Advantest machine. When the radiation was turned on, the chips failed. Turn it off, they didn't fail. Now, a good lawyer could probably get the suspect off here, because the evidence was circumstantial, but Sun customers believed it. BTW, Sun admitted to their machines having a high rate of outages, and that the root cause was radiation/subatomic particles. Tony
