The problem is that it is unsupported, so getting a board where the BIOS can enable it & you can count on it working is a bit of a crap shoot. I had the same problem ~8 years ago when a friend and I built new desktops. You've got to do a lot of manual reading, forum reading and review reading before buying a board. Or buy it locally from a place with a good return policy. This is quite a bit different from server grade kit where ECC is fully supported.

Also, it's quite depressing when you need to change the motherboard especially if you are obsessed with cable management and invested so much time ensuring great air flow.
