I really doubt it.

If it's not a "Server" board, then I'd say no it doesn't.

Most "server" boards, take "Register Ram"

I believe.

I asked the same question in a different forum and reply said ECC is for servers and will slow a home computer down.

ECC ram runs like non-ECC ram on motherboards that do not support ECC.

By it's very nature, ECC ram is slower than normal ram because of the error checking it does.
