Hello, this could be considered my introduction to the forum, though I've been lurking for a while (unregistered). I'm building a new system, and it has this mobo (Opinions on a different mobo? I like this one for the 4 sata ports (could be useless, could be better off with just 2, it caught my eye for some reason))<o:p></o:p>

My question...I'd like to put in ONE stick of 1 gb ram, 400 DDR with ECC, and I don't know where to look to see if the board can handle it (Something about the controller being able to handle 4 gb, but the board only being able to handle 512 mb max, something like that.)<o:p></o:p>
