Does the Gigabyte board handle ECC memory? After my backups started failing verification, I realized how easily a stick of bad ram can corrupt files, and I made sure my motherboards support ECC memory. It's not too expensive, but I wish it was more widely used so the price would drop further.

ECC RAM provides a mechanism by which the data stored can be checked, and given a small enough error, repaired. Standard RAM doesn't provide this. Buffering is done at the hardware level to increase throughput (gigabytes per second) at the expense of latency (nano seconds per operation). Your choi
