I'm planning to order a motherboard from China that support 1366 socket cpu, in my country that kind of motherboard is very rare.
But the seller list one of the feature that say support RECC.
Now i'm asking this because i already have a xeon x5660 and bunches of ECC ram. I don't want to buy a motherboard that is not compatible with my hardware.
Somehow i'm pretty sure that this is not a problem. But i have to ask to be sure 100%.

The motherboard:

Thank you,

ok, so RECC actually stands for ECC registered memory module. Not all ECC memory is registered but all registered memory is ECC. Actually, its quite a good question, many are not aware of it. If on your RAM module if the word "RDIMM" is mentioned then it supports RECC. If the memory modules are not registered then it should read "UDIMMS".
And to answer your question, i guess it will work just fine...

I would ask you to check the memory modules you have and see if They are RDIMMS or Unbuffered DIMMS. If RDIMMS, then this motherboard will surely support it. According to logic, the motherboard should also support UDIMM's as basically both are ECC compliant.

I checked the ram and it did not say anything like you said, no RDIMM or UDIMM. Some of them have the key word REG, i assume that it means registered.
But in other word, no matter which ram i have, as long as it's ECC ram, there will be no problem with that motherboard. Am I right?
