I sent the following message to supermicro support. Maybe someone here will know better. I will post any response I get back from supermicro.
Supermicro X9SAE-V Motherboard - Intel C216 - Socket H2 LGA-1155
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182717
1 VGA and 2 HDMI
Xeon E3-1200 v2, Core i7/i5/i3 (non-ECC UDIMMs only), Pentium & Celeron
I like the MB because it has ECC, USB 3.0 and hi-res video port. I have a few questions, I appreciate your time:
-----------------
It says that it requires a CPU integrated with GPU to make the VGA / HDMI work. But I can't find which ones those are.
Can you list which cpu categories support onboard graphics?
If I use the right cpu, can I attach one DVI monitor to an HDMI port?
If I use the right cpu, can I attach two monitors, one to each HDMI?
----------------------
The text "Core i7/i5/i3 (non-ECC UDIMMs only)" is confusing, if you can clarify.
Do Core i7/i5/i3 chips support ECC on this MB?
If yes, which generations?
If no, which cpu categories do support ECC on this MB?
------------------------
Finally, does this MB also support Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux?
Thanks,
Daniel
