ok so i recently acquired a GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R socket 1366 motherboard. i plan to toss in a xeon w3690 alongside some DDR3 ECC ram that i have lying around so i can save money. now my research tells me that since the memory controller is built into the cpu and not into the board, the the ecc ram should run just with ECC disabled what im looking for is a program or tool that i can use to test my ram to see if its stable since i cant find any concrete evidence that ECC ram is supported all the forums i visit say 50/50 with ecc ram meaning it may or may not support the ram what program do you recommend i use to test out the ram i do plan to overclock the cpu but not till i know for sure the ram is working in the board os will be windows 7
