You should be getting MCA (machine check architecture?) notifications in syslog/dmesg if there are ECC correctable errors, and an MCE (machine check exception) on the console for uncorrectable error, based on my experience with SuperMicro xeon servers running FreeBSD. A lot of our servers see a few correctable errors once in a while, and it doesn't affect the usability of the system; but sometimes the number of correctable errors is very high and the system is very sluggish.
