Any 845 mobos that support ECC Ram ?

[TheGreenGoblin]

I'm writing up the hardware configuration for a network project for school and was thinking an 845-D mb with some ECC ram would make a decent server for a small business (19 clients). I haven't been able to find one so far . If anyone's got any suggestions I'd appreciate it .

Check out the Gigabyte GA-8IRX(P) (http://www.giga-byte.com/products/8irxp.htm) and the MSI 845 Ultra-AR(U) (http://www.msicomputer.com/product/detail_spec/845ultra_aru.htm) series. Also, you could go to the source and get Intel D845BG (http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/bg/index.htm).
I'd also like to include the ASUS P4B266, but the vote is still out on this one. Actually I've just posted an article for info on this.
Hope that helps!

Thx a lot. I had checked the P4B 266 out on Asus' site and it didn't specify whether it was ECC capable so I assumed it wasn't . Anyways , the boards you mentioned should be fine . Thx again.

the 8IRXP rocks you can use the onboard lan (no idea how to disable it anyways and gigabyte is worthless for tech support)

Did you end up getting rid of the 8IRX and get the 8IRXP? I remember you saying how much the 8IRX you got sucked. Just trying to figure out if this is a great board or if I should save some money and get a SIS645 board without the USB2.0 and RAID.

yeah i go the 8irxp cost me 195+ shipping

the stuff you get extra is really worth it.

raid 133, overclocking everyfeature , 4 usb 2.0 ports, 4 usb 1.0 points , onboard lan and sound (some dont like them but i love the onboard lan) smartcard upgradeable.

it rocks
