Does anyone know if it is possible to use ECC memory in a motherboard that only supports Non-ECC memory, I know it's a bit of a long shot but i have a great gigabyte mother board that doens't support ECC but have a lot of ECC memory which is useless to me on this board unless i can either find a way to put ECC support on the board or make the memory Non-ECC. Just wondering if anyone knows is that possible to do? Appreciate any replies.
