[OpenIndiana-discuss] Another [OT] Hardware Post

Hi WK,

AFAIK, the most available consumer level boards out there that support ECC RAM is ASUS. Not all ASUS boards though, but I see it more from ASUS than other board. At least that's the way they are in my country. I'm having difficulties on finding Unbuffered ECC RAM, since usually consumer level boards and AMD CPU (not Opteron) only support Unbuffered ones, not the Registered ones.

Does the Gigabyte board handle ECC memory? After my backups started failing verification, I realized how easily a stick of bad ram can corrupt files, and I made sure my motherboards support ECC memory. It's not too expensive, but I wish it was more widely used so the price would drop further.
