Hi all.

I have been tasked with building an affordable new machine for a chap in the networks department at work. He would like an i7 machine with ECC memory for reliability. Is this ever going to happen?

Does the memory controller on the i7 support ECC and which desktop boards under £200 will support ECC memory.

Workstation boards mainly, not cheap, not sub £200 and your probably going to need Xeon CPU's

Supermicro X8SAX-O
Asus P6T WS**
Asus P6T6 WS**
Asus P6T7 WS**

** ECC memory support requires Intel® Nehalem-WS 1S W3500 series or Nehalem-EP E5502/E5504/E5506 processorsECC memory support requires Intel® Nehalem-WS 1S W3500 series or Nehalem-EP E5502/E5504/E5506 processors

Thanks, and will these boards work with ECC when using i7 or only when using a Xeon CPU?
