[comp.unix.xenix] Data Integrity

I really need some help on this one.  Is there an issue on the integrity of
data on a PC based application?

The question is prompted by several facts.  1)  PCs at best use parity checked
memory Vs ECC on larger computers.  2) Data on disk also has simpler algorithms
used to insure reliability than larger computers.

Is there any reason why data which is stored/processed on a PC might not be
reliable?  The question includes PCs in general, but Xenix specifficaly.

E-mail would be fine.  Thanks in advance.
