Not sure if I should start getting nervous or just your RAM sucks ;) I get ECC errors only if I overclock too much, and I run the RAM overclocked all time. It's actually one of the reasons I wanted ECC.

Different RAM, more soft errors the older a system gets. Heh, the system should auto over clock until it starts to get correctable soft errors and then back off. Or reduce refresh until soft errors and then bump it up. Max speed at the lowest power.
