It gets worse I think.
Tyan used to have a page[1] which stated that 440fx was broken in respect to ECC memory handling. The statement was:
"0.6 ECC Memory Compatibility At this time, the HX, TX, VX, and FX Intel Chipsets do not yet support true ECC memory, however, when running Parity Memory with ECC Enabled in the BIOS, the Intel chipset will emulate ECC. Future products will support true ECC."
The page is no longer there. Anyone know where its gone to?
The 440fx does have some other design flaws regarding the memory controller but all BIOS I have seen so far appear to compensate properly according to the workarounds in the Intel errata sheets.
