Nowdays the biggest problem seems to be slightly incompatible timings
in between motherboard and physical RAM that hurts the most, not so
much non-working bits in RAM devices.
Is there someone who has a patch so that, in case of a kernel OOPS
(or maybe SIGSEGV / SIGILL outside kernel) is checking at least
the code page where IP register points to check if a bit has flipped?
Could be done by checking the page on the Hard Disk or by a CRC method.
Having a bad BIOS parameter so that _one_ bit changes randomly every
hours is not an easy thing to detect - a message on the screen would
be nice...
