There's no mention of ECC memory support on VIA's webpages dedicated to the EPIA line. Also, the memory selector tool on crucial.com lists non-ecc memory only.

Thus spake Timo Schoeler ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [18/04/06 08:33]: : hm. somehow missing ECC et al. keeps me from deploying such systems on : a regular basis... even when they're 'only' x86. The systems, as much as I love 'em, are missing a few crucial 'features': 1) Proper RAID support 2) 3+ NIC support 3) 802.11 support 4) ECC memory Though you can have, with a PCI slot, RAID, *or* 3+ NIC, *or* 802.11, you can't get 'em all. It would also be nice if their DP line eventually hit the market...

Re: Via EPIA boards
1. How well supported are the C3 boards such as the M1? My home firewall is running on a PD1. Similar to the M1, except with two NICs. NICs are supported. I don't think Xorg supports the VIA graphics chip, but doesn't matter to me. http://www.logicsupply.com/product_info.php/cPath/78_76/products_id/234 2. I'd like to switch to a nice 1U case. Logicsupply has Casetronic and Morex cases which are nice; gtweb.net also has some. Other recommendations? I bought mine from Logicsupply, along with a decent little Morex case. (I'd give ya a link to it, but it looks like Logicsupply doesn't carry my model case any more). 4. Are the C7 boards supported in 3.9? I'm running a 3.9 beta snapshot from January-ish. --Matt
