In the amd case all socket F cpu's support ecc.
Does support for ECC on AMD 64 bit processors bypass BIOS support, for
the most part? Let me rephrase: if I install an Opteron in AM2 form
factor along with ECC ram on a consumer motherboard, will a Bluesmoke
kernel still trap on a memory error even if the BIOS does not
specifically support ECC?
I'm not sure I'd guarantee that across all consumer am2 mainboards...

On the other hand I can't imagine a socket F customer wanting 32GB of
ram and not wanting ecc.
In the intel case. the uniprocessor xeon chipsets like 3000 and 3200
support unbuffered ecc ddr2 dimms. all 5000 chipsets support ecc
fbdimms. The older 7xxx xeon supporting chipsets support ddr or ddr2
registerd dimms with ecc.
only with the single socket intel lga775 systems is there serious
ambiguity at this point.
