Re: Your opinion about this system
Gianni, it just means the motherboard will work with the ecc memory modules as if they're regular ones.
The chipset just doesn't use the ECC information from the chips so that's why it says unsupported. It would make no sense to buy ECC modules that are usually more expensive but this board will let you use them anyway.
You probably didn't see the network driver in the autorun menu because it had no setup application.
It's there on CD - you just had to go in Windows' Device Manager, select the network card with question mark icon, select update driver and then tell it to search the CD for the driver and it picks it up automatically.
I don't know what to say about the cooler retention plastic - they should be standard and the same on all board - maybe you put the heatsink the other way around initially?
Ok, I hope it lasts a long time and you're happy with the purchase... nice to know everything's solved.
