If anyone out there gives a hoot I wanted to share this anyways.
If you are in the market to use AMD stuff because they support ECC well you are also in luck with Gigabytes 990FX UD3-5-and7 boards. I am running a UD3 in a build I am about to do for a home server with a 6 core FX chip and ECC totally works and has all the fine tuning options in BIOS. Asus was one of the only other I knew of that would support ECC and I have manually and physically verified that although GB doesnt advertise it they in fact DO support ECC.
I had a bunch of older store credits for Microcenter in GA and went ahead and bought this killer deal. I got a FX-6100 and a Gigabyte 990FX board for $230 after taxes. I really wanted to have the FX board so I have room to upgrade to better AMD stuff down the road because I love the fact their sockets hardly change between 2-3 generations of processors.
Okay back to doing other stuff. Hope this helps anyone that was concerned.
