100% agree. This is a pure case of defective product. Memory not behaving like memory.

It's very telling that when Rowhammer first appeared, authors of popular memory testing utilities added tests for it, and then quickly hid and disabled them by default because "too much RAM would test defective". I have no idea how they were convinced to do so.



Maybe they don't want to be seen as the boy who cried wolf? Or people would think it's a lie because it would still work for web browsing?
