Interesting, the Gigabyte board I'm using makes no mention of it.
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).
