BTW, not 100% sure if I my test method was correct, but it seems that ECC pins of DIMM sockets (CB0, CB1, etc) of my motherboard (GA-MA780G-UD3H) are not connected to anywhere. So looks like Gigabyte is saving some cents on this. -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
