But... how do you know that? Without ECC, the only way would be that none of your other machines have ever crashed at all, right?

Yes, that's basically it. Except it's more like, "ugh my ECC laptop blue screened again!" vs. me not able to even remember the last crash like that on my non-ECC machines.

My ECC workstation had lots of memory issues where it blue-screened on the windows side. For some reason that wouldn't happen on the Linux side.
