QC5000-ITX/WiFi - ECC support? Intel Nic support? (for pfsense firewall)

[messerchmidt]

hi all,

will the Asrock QC5000-ITX/WiFi work with ecc ram? I wanted to add a 2 or 4 port intel pci gigabit nic in the express slot as well.

I want to turn this into a pfsense firewall /router as the cpu supports aes-ni,etc which the celeron quads do not.

No one seems to be selling the opteron x2150, so this seems like a good choice.

ECC RAM support on this platform? No chance.

The PCIe slot is only electrically an x4 slot, so if the Intel NIC card needs more than four PCIe lanes, it won't work at all, or at 100% capability.
