Josip neglected to mention that he is at sea level. If you are at a higher
altitude, you will see more errors.

CPlant's 2000 cpus have a total of something like 500 gigabytes of RAM. I
haven't computed the errors/GB/month (although we do monitor them, because
it detects bad motherboards), but with Josip's number, that would be an
interrupt every 12 hours.
