Tony - tbull either made it up or misunderstood the "fix" - which is to double up on cache and flush the cache and force a mamory read if there is a mismatch between the mirrors. This avoids data corruption but at the cost of some performance.

I'm still amazed that Sun produced a high end machine without ECC cache when the problem has been well understood for 20 years, and the competition has all had ECC cache since long before UE10000 was introduced.
