Note that the KT does *NOT* support ECC.  A few places have claimed it does,
but the VIA chipset spec says it doesn't.  The KV or KX does (I forget the
model #), but the KT is secretly doing no error correcting at all.  I got
burned on this with an ABit VP6, which proclaims loudly that it supports ECC,
but doesn't actually *do* any.
