Enterprises can afford the professionals. I work for a fairly large bank which
can, and does, afford a dedicated storage team.
On the other hand, no enterprise can afford downtime. Whe

I found these 4 AM3 motherboard with "optional" ECC memory support. I don't
know whether this means ECC works, or ECC memory can be used but ECC will not.
Do you?

Ok, so the choice for a MB boils down to:
- Intel desktop MB, no ECC support
- Intel server MB, ECC support, expensive (requires a Xeon for speedstep
support). It is a shame to waste top kit doing nothing 24/7.

Thanks a lot, Cindy!
Let me know how it goes or if I can provide more info.
Part of the bad luck I've had with that set, is that it reports such errors
about once a month, then everything goes back to normal again. So I'm pretty
sure that I'll be able to try to offline the disk someday.
