You need first a motherboard that supports ECC. The go-to brand for this is Asus, and their AM1 boards don't seem to support it.
The only thing that is questionable is that there isn't a way that I know of that will allow you to actually test that ECC is being used.
Nice, this is good to know!
Where can I find the source of this information? I can't find anything about it on the Asus website.
Ignoring the lower memory bandwidth issue, this may make for a low powered file server alternative to those Atom-based file servers. I'm still deciding between going Mint with ZFS on Linux or FreeNAS with ZFS.
What file server OS are you running?

I belive /var/log/syslog would print ECC memory corrections. I've never seen ECC errors in there though.
Well yes his memory is ECC. The question is, does the mobo have the actual traces between CPU socket and memory slots for ECC ?
