And it isn't monitoring for checksum errors? Sorry to burst your "pub
expert" bubble, but ECC has always been an overhead on a system, OK now

Oh people, know that you have committed great sins.
If you ask me what proof I have for these words,
I say it is because I am the punishment of God.
If you had not committed great sins,
God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.
