I hate to break it to you, but the 200GE does not support EEC. It will accept unbuffered ECC RAM, but it runs it in non-ECC mode. You can use dmidecode or memtest86 to verify this.

You can see on the Iris Pro or even Power 7, it promised a lot, delivered little. I think in most scenarios you would see very little performance difference if it was removed.
When you say "promised a lot, delivered little" in the context of Power7 do you mean that Power7 underperformed Power6 on a per-core clock-for-clock basis, or was there some expectation of much higher per-core performance from moving L3 on-chip that I missed ?

I have the 200GE ...what im really missing is not an official unlocked multi....i would rather have ecc support for my nas...it is not possible to buy the pro version as consumer so...i have to buy some recycled pro from chinese sources. IMO failed marketing. that 50 buck cpus are great for nas or small settop tv boxes...or as in my case both in one....

It's useful on bandwidth-constrained situations, e.g., a truckload of cores being fed by dual-channel DDR4 SDRAM. They've taken other measures as well, like reducing bottlenecks in the fabric, but the cache isn't wasted silicon. The CPUs would surely perform worse if it was reduced or removed.
It's not bad to have more L3 cache, but I don't think it really ever really helps either. The miss rate just isn't high enough.

The point is that similar code might fail somewhere else, so it's worth bringing up.
If anyone actually buys a brand new high end processor to play an old game, they can look into that quick hack to fix the game.
This is all super edge case, and the reason it isn't being talked about is because largely, nobody cares.

Follow this site and your work daily Micheal. Congrats on your new baby. Stay away from Phoronix some time, the new baby is going to suck your sleep for at least a week.
