Product search at google shows lots of Atom boards but none seem to
support ECC.   I'm guessing that at this low end ECC and Atom do not
go together.  I think that if you want that then you're going to have
to jump the spec a bit to get something that supports ECC.  On the
other hand I'm not sure what value ECC adds at this low end.

I also note the subject change:
A desktop choice I'm considering is:

Not top of the line but far enough back to give me a great price break
and well above the performance level of my current rig.
