I have an ASUS P5Q PRO Turbo and have some ecc memory

[lsford777]

Can I use ecc memory in this board? Does absolutely need to be non-ecc or will it run with and ignore the ecc function? Is there a bios upgrade?

No. The Asus P5Q PRO Turbo supports Max of 4 x 4 GB DDR2 'Non-ECC' memory only.

It needs to be Non-ECC only. While some Motherboards have been able to disable the ECC feature in ECC memory and operate as Non-ECC, it is not guaranteed that Asus P5Q PRO Turbo Motherboard would be able to do that.

Latest BIOS update: P5Q PRO TURBO BIOS 0701
