aC, on ECC, "what Sean said" <g.> Seriously, his description is consistent with what I recall of the BX chipset--not that he wouldn't be more likely to know something like this than me anyway. :)

Now in theory, of course, there could be multiple-bit errors that this ECC circuitry couldn't correct. But it's save to say that with the reliability of modern memory, the chances are truly infinitesmal. And I bet the chances of a parity error occouring that BX couldn't at least <>detect is all but mathematically impossible.
