What happens on an ECC equipped PC when you have a multi-bit memory
error that hardware scrubbing can't fix?  Will there be some sort of
NMI or something that will panic the box?

I'm used to alphas (where you'll get a fatal machine check panic) and
I am just wondering if PCs are as safe.

Thanks,

Drew
