I currenly have a i5-750 on a p7f-c/sas asus motherboard with 16GB of ram ( 4x4GB kingston KHX1600C9 memory modules)
I
want to swap it for a intel xeon L3426:
http://ark.intel.com/es-es/products/43233/Intel-Xeon-Processor-L3426-8M-Cache-1_86-GHz

and use the i5-750 on a gaming rig (+new mobo+memory)

1. Do I need to buy EEC memory for the xeon or will the xeon work with the non ecc memory?

I far as I know the restrictions for the non ecc memory are:
to use only 4 of the six memory slots.
not to exceed 16GB of memory.
which is my case.

2. I've heard intel xeon have some restrictions when it comes to memory modules chip size. Those 16GB come in 512Mb x 64 chips (4GB/module). Any problem with that?

Thanks for the info.

You should be fine with either. It only says it will support ECC, not that it is needed.
