Can ecc rec memory be used on x79 motherboards and which boards support this memory?

Took a special trip to the Asus website to read about the P9X79, which supports Non-ECC memory, which is regular memory. You can use ECC memory, but it doesn't have the ECC function anymore. Gigabyte's UD5 is the same, so it's clear that the X79 chipset doesn't support ECC, so it's better to choose a server motherboard, and the CPU has to be XEON too.
