AMD Phenom II X6 mb w/ECC RAM support

[SammyJr]

Please recommend a motherboard to me with the following specs:

Supports Phenom II X6
Supports unbuffered ECC RAM
Minimum 1 x16 slot for video
Minimum 1 x8 slot for RAID

I want to run a Hyper-V system for RemoteFX testing.

Thanks.

Note that if you install video card drivers onto a hyper-v system you might have some performance issues. If you are only going to use the system for hyper-v, you might just want to find a board with integrated graphics and don't even install the graphic driver.

That said, the board I use, Crosshair IV Formula, has ECC support and easily covers the rest of your required specs, although it's probably overkill and you could get by with a much cheaper board.

RemoteFX virtualizes the host 3d card and makes it available for RDP 7.1 clients. I have lots of server type boxes (Dell PowerEdges and SuperMicro) for Hyper-V and vSphere, but given the requirements for RemoteFX, I have to build a server/workstation hybrid.

This is the only motherboard which I am aware of that fits your specs

It is an AM3 Opteron board which supports AM3 Phenom ][ CPU's which I guess do have support in the memory controller for unbuffered ECC DIMM's.

IIRC most Asus consumer mobos will support ECC RAMs (and sometimes list specific RAMS on their QVL lists)
