Curious, according to Intel, it the i3 doesn't do ECC: http://www.intel.com/support/processors/corei3/sb/CS-031175....

But the Supermicro board says it can: http://www.supermicro.com/xeon_3400/Motherboard/X8SIL.cfm

The board also supports Xeon processors, so it might be that it only supports ECC with Xeon. However, I didn't see anything in the docs to support this, instead it says "Dual Core processors of Ci3 and Pentium: support ECC UDIMM only"

I'm curious since I ended up springing for Xeon in my system specifically for ECC. Now I'm wondering if I made a mistake...

The following concerns me, from the privacy policy: "AVOS may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of its assets, including your Personal Information, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets or in the event of bankruptcy."

Attempting to get TX/RX Labs (http://www.txrxlabs.org), the first hackerspace in Houston, up and going. I've had lots of fun attempting to get a lawyer so we could get our 501(c)3 in the hopes that we can also get a larger workspace. I have gotten the webservers and website up in the nick of time, and I've got a bunch of stickers and t-shirts I will be selling at the Next HOPE and at DEFCON 18 for the group, and adding a party/membership drive in Houston on the same weekend as HOPE will probably get us enough members to get over a vital hump so we can offer more to our members.

I also get to go through the same drill with Locksport International (http://www.locksport.com). In fact, visit the Lockpicking Village at The Next HOPE and DEFCON, or Security Snobs (http://www.securitysnobs.com) and buy some lockpicks or t-shirts to help your fellow hackers!
