Okay so I this motherboard says it supports DDR4 ECC RAM and I am wondering if I have to use regular DDR4 ram for this motherboard that is not ECC. I don't want to pay the huge expense of DDR4 ECC. Hope i can get some answers. :)

I want to do some heavy virtualization with active directory and yes DDR3 would work but I want something a bit new and not old.

Well i wanted to get regular DDR4 memory so I don't have to pay for the cost of DDR4 ECC
 


you wont be able to get a dual socket mobo then. and 2 cpus is very helpful in virtualization. what about something like a z800 mobo 2x x5680, x5690, or x5677's. 12 8 gig or 12 4 gig ddr3 ecc ram. this would give you between 16 and 24 vcpu's, and between 48 and 96 gigs ram. this will be MUCH cheaper and depending on your budget could outperform your other build.
