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.
