I have a Pentium Pro system with the Intel 440FX chipset. If I have 2 32M x 36 SIMMs, can I set the chipset to ECC, or can it only be set to check parity? What type of memory do I have to order if I want to set it to ECC? I'm having problems with my system claiming there are memory problems when I turn on ECC (and maybe when I turn on parity checking as well), and my vendor is claiming that my memory is only good for straight parity checking. I've looked at the Intel datasheets, and the only requirements they mention for ECC is x72 memory and a BIOS which supports it (which I have).
