Hi, Chad-- I've got a Shuttle AK31v3 motherboard which does registered+ECC memory, which is a single-proc motherboard: System Mainboard Manufacturer : HOLCO (Shuttle) MP Support : No Model : VT8366-8233 BIOS ID : 04/17/2002-VT8366-8233-6A6LVH2CC-00 Chipset : VIA KT266/A Chipset [ ... ] Logical/Chipset Memory Banks Bank 0 Setting : 128MB DDR-SDRAM Registered 8-1-1-1R 4-1-1-1W 2.5-3-3CL 1CMD Bank 1 Setting : 128MB DDR-SDRAM Registered 8-1-1-1R 4-1-1-1W 2.5-3-3CL 1CMD Bank 2 Setting : 256MB DDR-SDRAM Registered 8-1-1-1R 4-1-1-1W 2.5-3-3CL 1CMD Speed : 2x 133MHz (266MHz data rate) Multiplier : 1/1x Memory Modules Memory Module 1 : Micron 18VDDT3272DG-265Z1 080EBD07 256MB 18x(16Mx8) ECC DDR-SDRAM PC2100R-2533-750 (CL2.5 upto 133MHz) (CL2 upto 100MHz) Memory Module 2 : Micron 9VDDT3272G-265B2 1B1B108E 256MB 9x(32Mx8) ECC DDR-SDRAM PC2100R-2533-750 (CL2.5 upto 133MHz) (CL2 upto 100MHz) ...but you are right that ECC support is quite uncommon for AMD motherboards. -- -Chuck
