Some time ago I found Intel video that shows the benefit of ECC memory.
The video presents modified ECC memory module with a switch that induces
memory error, then it shows how i5 can't handle such error and how Xeon
processor can. Here is the video in question, they show module at time
28-29s:

I'd like to have such module for demonstrating purposes. I wrote on
Intel forum but after some time it occured that it is impossible to get
the schematic of the modification from them (obviously...).

Is it possible to figure out how to make such modification?
Theoretically, what modification would probably work and would not
damage motherboard/CPU? :-)

I would appreciate your thoughts.

thanks

probably quicker to do than discuss. Attach a switch to a random line to resistor then to one of the power rails. If it doesn't work, try connecting it to another line.
