Anyone know of any current AMD Athlon motherboards with chipsets that support ECC that are not dual MB? The KT266A is an older chipset. The AMD 760 series of chipsets support ECC but you only find these in dual motherboards usually. I have the Gigabyte dual and it seems to work great with the Gentoo Linux installed on it (needed it for some specialized Java stuff) and I also have some Tyan Tiger MP (not MPX) and they run great with FreeBSD.
