Almost all Alpha systems (from the $300 Multia systems upto the biggest workstations) uses normal parity (36bit) parity ram, and does ECC error detection/correction. Linux/Alpha reports ECC messages in the normal system logs. For more information about Linux/Alpha see the FAQ at http://www.azstarnet.com/~axplinux
