Just something that needs to be considered up-front. It is still a constraint though - if only 10% of the boards support ECC on the AMD side, then you're committing to an AMD CPU, and you may find it harder to find the other features you're looking for (number of RAM slots, PCI(e) ports, SATA ports, SLI/crossfire, clock control, good price, etc).
