For me, yes. I still test and repair old medical equipment built on the
xw8400 and xw6400 (as well as even older systems), and FB-DIMMs are the
part that fails. Having EDAC name the slot beats swapping sticks.

Yes, please do. I have the hardware on the bench, with single- and
dual-ranked FB-DIMMs, and can test patches on request.
