This is NOT a marketplace problem. It's a component availability problem. To build a 8GB UDIMM, you need either 4Gb (dual-rank) or 8Gb (single-rank) chips, neither of which are currently being manufacturered in quantity.None of the memory manufacturers have 8GB ECC UDIMMs because - until now - no CPU or chipset existed that could use them. No need to manufacture a product that has no demand...
Time will fix this. Once the E3-12xx chips start hitting the marketplace in a big way you'll see the 8GB ECC UDIMMs show up too. Should also note that the UDIMMs have to be dual-rank. Apparently this chip will not support quad-rank DIMMs at all, so expect these 8GB ECC UDIMMs to be on the expensive side, at least for a while.
I think the point was there wasn't a market for these. Hence why build components before there is a market for them?This is NOT a marketplace problem. It's a component availability problem.
So a note on video: You need an E3-12x5 series CPU (or Core i3/ i5/ i7) and a C206 chipset based board to use the on-die Intel video. C202 and C204 based motherboards typically have onboard 8MB video that has an added benefit of being able to be easily redirected over IPMI. The positive of on-die Intel video is that it is much faster. On the flipside, the on-motherboard video when coupled with IPMI 2.0 can yield excellent remote management capabilities.Can you post any configs you had with this board odditory?
Another thread on here said that you need xxx5 cpu to have any video, can you confirm this is not the case,
Did you run into any problems like this > http://forums.servethehome.com/show...signed-for-storage&p=1446&viewfull=1#post1446
The X9SCM-F motherboard (you are correct, it has the C204 chipset) includes onboard video - there is no point buying the E3-1235 as the on-die video won't be used.I'm still a little confused, looking at the X9SCM-F. (C204 I believe)
$50 difference for 1235 over the 1230 here
So I finally posted the Supermicro X9SCM-F review today. Overall, mine has actually worked well. The LAN port/ driver thing is very similar to other Sandy Bridge platforms that use the chipset's NIC. Thus far, finding drivers has not been an issue but it has really been the difference between the 82574L working out of the box and the 82579LM requiring another step of driver installation. The big plus is that unlike a lot of consumer boards, having the 82574L onboard means that one at least has a NIC to download drivers with when initially setting the box up.The X9SCM-F motherboard (you are correct, it has the C204 chipset) includes onboard video - there is no point buying the E3-1235 as the on-die video won't be used.
I have the X9SCM-F and E3-1230. I haven't had any issues so far other than the lack of drivers for the second LAN port (Intel 82579LM).
Kingston still does not produce them, Apacer is ready, but for with unreal price - more then $500 per one module.Has anyone found 8gb ecc unbuffered modules yet?
I wonder if these would work... http://www.provantage.com/axiom-memory-solutions-mp1333-8gb-ax~7AXM979R.htm $275 ECC UDIMMs.Has anyone found 8gb ecc unbuffered modules yet?
