Default Gigabyte K8N Pro won't enable ECC RAM

Hi,

I bought an Athlon64 2800+, Gigabyte K8N Pro, and 512MB ECC RAM, with
the full expectation that I will get full ECC since the on-chip DRAM
controller supports it.

Well, _support_ it did. The system does boot up with no problems, but
ECC check is not enabled! Then I realize there is no BIOS option to
enable ECC check! Don't tell me about Ctrl-F1 at the BIOS. Nothing there!

My question is: since the DRAM controller is built into the Athlon64,
shouldn't there be some way of enabling ECC check without going through
the BIOS? Is there some Windows utility for tweaking these parameters on
the CPU itself? I emailed Gigabyte, but have gotten no reply after two
days. Numerous checks on Google also yielded no result so far.

Please advice!
