Complete BS. I have an old sparc classic running 5.17 kernel and root on initramfs with 96mb of ram, no swap. Net boot image created with buildroot.

ECC codes do nothing on their own, the OS and specific software (or Interrupt routines) actually has to act on the ECC byte and compute the parity bit, and if you're looking for performance on your home systems, would you give up 1-5% of your performance?

This is utter BS. ECC is done in the memory controller. The underlying software need not even know it is there unless it wants to look at error stats/respond to error events.
