Bid on some memory on eBay, it looks like I'm going to win, but I JUST saw that it is ECC PC2100 DDR. I don't know much about the ECC stuff, so I want to check.

I'm going to put it in an nForce2 board, either Gigabyte nForce2 400 or MSI nForce2 Ultra 400 w/a TBird 1.4.
Thanks in advance!

ECC RAM would be OK, and "unbuffered" is electrically the right kind. PC2100 speed grade is only good if your CPU runs a 133 MHz front side bus (or "FSB266" as the marketing folk puts it).

Its a 133/266MHz FSB TBird, so the speeds will be fun. Just wanted to make sure the ECC was gonna work
Thanks!
