ECC Ga-k8u-939

Upgrading my old box so my little brother can use it and I've found

The tower has an Opteron 180 in it, from what I think I remember the CPU controls whether I can use ECC or non-ECC right?

So that means with the Opteron I can use that ECC ram correct?

Since the little bro is only 9 and the box has vista 64 the Opteron 180 and an HD3850 ram is the weakest link and the last possible upgrade.

Yes, you can because the Opteron 180 is the server processors.

non-ECC RAM use for the desktop PC or laptop.

Thanks for the reply cin.
Just to clarify, I can use the ECC ram on the desktop K8U-939 motherboard because the CPU controls the ram.
