looking for DDR3 1066MHz ECC or non-ECC memory

[Steven A. DuChene]

It is a pre-production prototype Intel motherboard and none of the numbers printed on the motherboard show up in any research I have been able to do so far. I have not yet gone so far as to remove the heat sinks on the non-CPU chips on the motherboard to see if they provide any clues.

Has anyone successfully removed a heat sink off of a non-CPU motherboard chip and then reinstalled it with no damage to the motherboard? Like the bridge or other MB controller chips that have heat sinks held down with spring clips that fasten under loops soldered into the motherboard.

You should have been able to identify your mobo also?

That's going to be important at somepoint?
