Is there any information about the Q6600's memory support? The Asus P5W board lists ECC DDR2 support, but the Intel ARK doesn't confirm if it includes ECC for the Q6600. Check the provided CPU list for confirmation.

In that era, the CPU lacks a memory controller while the board provides one, making it compatible if the board supports ECC plus that CPU. With ECC, it typically requires unbuffered DIMMs, so the standard registers used previously should function properly.

I think the compatibility for this CPU really hinges on the board. If the board confirms ECC support and the Q6600 is included, it should function. This discussion also aligns with another question about which motherboards are compatible with a Q6600 and ECC memory.

I didn’t consider it before, but having a north bridge still makes sense. Your concern seems a bit silly now, thanks.
