Neither of them seem to support ECC, not that I can recommend this board specifically but it does appear to support ECC and runs the i7: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon3000/X58/X8ST3-F.cfm Though all 3 boards seem to have the same chipset so it's possible the other two support ECC too. Also the Supermicro board has the advantage of having remote management support(IPMI 2.0) whereas the other boards don't seem to have anything like it. The Asus has shitty networking on it(Realtek), I assume the Intel one has an Intel NICs, and the Supermicro has Intel as well. nate
