I've got an e-mail in to Via Technologies, but I am not hopeful that the chipset supports ECC. It's a shame.... When you're doing up to 133 million accesses a second, it's nice to have some safeguards. But AMD and Via need to get into the mainstream consumer market, where price is an issue and ECC will rarely be used. I think that you can use the ECC-enabled North Bridge chip from the KX-133 chipset if you really need ECC. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
