AMD has nothing to do with whether ECC exists on the Nehalem. Most likely ECC is in the memory controller of the Nehalem die, it's just disabled on the i7. It wouldn't make any sense to tape out a whole new die for the server version of the chip. The Xeon could use another stepping, but I'd expect Intel to use the same on both consumer and server versions of the chip. -B -- Brandon High : bh...@freaks.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
