cool! yeah, def think I will get one right now just bc they look so cheap before they start to head back up. The other day I saw a tyan s7012 x58 dual cpu slots going for $50 shipping for free. wish I picked up one. now its back to close to $100 shipped.
so getting back to x99, I guess support for ECC is not guaranteed on every one?
ECC is mostly not the problem. server ECC RAM is registered/buffered, and mostly not supported
by the motherboard. If you have a Xeon on a ASRock x99 mobo ecc UDIMM(unbuffered) will
work with ECC correction.
registered ECC will work without the server ECC functionality(no reporting ECC errors in LOG files)
in example Gigybyte x99 supports only 8 bit organized DIMM, mostly ECC RDIMM is 1Rx4 bits,
the DIMM slots are NOT full wired on Gigabyte.
On more reason for ASRock is the support for early Engineering samples.
