I have an old Biostar A880G+ Ver 6.x motherboard that seems to allow the use of ECC memory as per the BIOS setup manual. Does that mean I can buy less expensive ECC server RAM for the board? If not what is this ECC RAM I should be looking for?

Some boards supported ECC, but it'd have to be unregistered/unbuffered, which aren't as inexpensive as fully registered server sticks. I have a GA-890FXA-UD5 with a few functional ECC sticks.

If the manual explicitly says ECC not supported then it may be a toss-up however.
