need some serious help: look inside, i'm lost as to what board to get

[dannybin1742]

ok here is my dillema

i need an A64 socket 939 that can use and utilize ecc memory, not a board that simply says its compatable with ECC memory, or i need a single/dual processor 940 board that is not too expensive that uses a regular ATX power connector

any suggestions, i'm going to be using this as a workstation mostly for long number crunshing runs (30-60 hours a piece) so i need ECC

any suggestions? also i'm only going to be using one processor under RH linux v4 for x86-64 so everything needs to be out of the box compatable, also the software i'm using charges by the cpu, and 1 cpu is only $500 but 2 is $5k

ECC mb's is not commonly discussed here.
I did a search on newegg and the cheapest ecc mb (no 939 available only 940) -

Others are server mb's and cost in the ~450 range.

Note that the MSI immediately voids the warranty on 1 CPU.
