Yes, it is. But you will have to compile the kernel yourself. But if you plan 
to set up your own serveryou will want to do this anyway .
  cd /usr/src/linux

I don't know, but since I'm in the same situation like you, I'm also very
interested in this. Well, almost same situation: I have only 4GB RAM.
ECCs are so expensive :(
