Re: Not unbelievable
A customer wanted to keep their many branch financial PCs running continuously - as a daily reboot across the WAN was considered unnecessary.
Asked if the PCs' dense main memory was going to be ECC - the specialist supplier said "No - why?".
A tame guru in the bowels of our IT company confirmed my suspicion that the effect of cosmic ray corruptions over time could be significant. The customer decided that they would reboot the PCs every day to minimise the risk.
