Putting together a workstation, wondering if people can comment on anything they know about this board, problems with it, or its compatibility with the parts I've listed... specifically, the ECC support. I've checked their site, and the "latest" QVL list for the memory is dated back to May 2010. Either way, please chime in with comments:

AsRock X58 Extreme6
Intel Xeon W3680
3x4GB DDR3-1333 of unbuffered ECC ram (such as CT3KIT51272BA1339)
EVGA GTX 580 (x1)
Antec P-193 + CP-850 PSU
sound card will be PCI-E, likely a Xonar or X-Fi.

Thx,
A

Looks like a very nice build..ive always been happy with asrock boards..i have read recently that the asrock does fine with ECC memory for the server cpu..
as long as your not going for extreme o/clocks you have a great computer there..
im an amd guy and this 1366/920 is such a great running system...with the ssd its the fastest computer ive ever been on.. Its such a pleasure to use it..it amazes me every time i fire it up..good luck guy...
