  Most systems do not have ECC capable memory.  All off the shelf consumer
level computers certainly don't, though most can be upgraded by replaced
the memory.

  There is no way to log ECC corrections are they are done
transparently in the hardware, and currently there is no mechanism for the
hardware to make available that kind of info.
