Yes, but in an age of ZFS, can a non-xeon support ECC RAM ?
I think a rackmount home server is a good choice if you already have other rackmount equipment in place, such as switches and routers.
If that server is the only rackmount device you're going to get, then I think it's probably unnecessary.

- Sanddancer 12y agoThe i3s support ECC. The i5s and i7s don't because that's where intel branches their consumer from their server models.
