Does a gigabyte GA-7DX (Rev. 2.2) require ECC

[CaesarCaligula]

On the web page is says


<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 border=0>

<TR>
<TD colSpan=2><FONT color=#ff0000><FONT face=arial size=2><B>MEMORY</B></FONT></FONT></TD></TR>
<TR>

<TD vAlign=top><FONT face=Arial size=2>Supports 72bits ECC type DRAM integrity mode</FONT></TD></TR></TABLE>

Does that mean it can support ECC or it needs to have it?

PS does anyone own this board?

supports, but doesn't require

 

[CaesarCaligula]

I hope that is true. Does anyone that owns one have any imput?

It has support but doesn't require it. ECC support is in the chipset - and the chipset can use ECC or not. Personally, I'd recommend getting ECC for it. It's not usually that much more expensive.

owned one for a while, it does NOT require it, only supports it, like everyones been saying...

I've got one.

It's been ok, but lately the machine has been suddenly rebooting. It doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing, or how long its been on. I haven't had the chance to nail it down.
