You could go one stage further and make DIMMs just one example of
a field replaceable unit. So the "error analysis subsystem" would keep track
of errors reported by any component (cpu, DIMM, I/O card, fan, power
supply, disk, ...). Each category could have different "X errors per Y
interval" parameter that made sense for it.
