**NOT ALL CPUs support ECC memory. You must use one that supports it, if you
want to have the ECC feature, or else it won't work. ECC allows for error
correction, mitigating certain defects that develop over time in the RAM (it
will not account for all defects, and memory always needs to be replaced
eventually) - with ECC RAM, this machine is more suitable to applications where
data integrity matters.**
Because of this, Libreboot currently only provides ROM images where SeaBIOS
is the first payload, and SeaBIOS is relied upon the execute the VGA ROM that's
stored on the graphics card. However, coreboot's libgfxinit is also enabled,
