rdpintqogeogsaa hit the nail on the head.

Linus uses a Threadripper machine which supports ECC, and non-ecc.

Most Mobos support non-ecc and maybe ECC if it's AMD and the supplier wired it up. (ASUS and someone else I can't recall seem to do so, Gigabyte does not appear to)




Thanks! ASUS pro MB here (on the sole non-Apple device around here lol) so maybe it will work. Also will keep all this in mind when upgrading, which could be in the cards.
