    im wanting to know, im about to buy a dual socket 370 mobo to setup as a lil file/internet/games server and will probly rnu folding@home on it aswell.

    it says supports ECC ram (1bit error code correction)

    will normal SD-ram still work with the motherboard or will i need to get ECC ram?

    MSI 694D Pro2 Motherboard

    this is the motherboard im thinking of getting.
