Tony, <The folks that designed those machines didn't put cache ECC in just for laughs.> Funny thing, too, since it was about a year and a half ago that someone asked me about why ECC was being added to cache these days, and I couldn't come up with an answer. He figured that an SRAM array would be a lot less susceptible to soft errors than a DRAM array, which he took as a good reason not to bother with cache ECC. 1.5 years ago would be just a few months before the public started hearing about the problems Sun was having, right?
