To encounter a crash, bit flip has to happen on a very small subset of available memory. It's much more likely to just corrupt file cache.

Well it depends what you're doing, if your memory is full of hash tables and linked lists then you'll likely get a crash (say a web backend). If you're a fileserver and it's all cache then you won't.
