Soft error rates in modern computers

This post supersedes my previous two posts on memory soft errors.

Manufacturers of computer memory modules (typially DIMM SDRAMs) do not provide to the general public reliability data, especially data relevant to the susceptibility of their memory modules to radiation effects. I therefore try to estimate this data from what is available on the open web.

This is the third post on the subject, see the previous two posts: the first and the second ones.
