Hardware/ECC memory upgrade question

Very simple, go to http://crucial.com and match up your motherboard or
manufacturer model to their menu.  If a type of memory is listed, your
motherboard can take it and they will guarantee 100% compatability or your
money back.  If something's not listed for a model, chances are very good
it won't work.  Plus, it's Micron memory.  You'll pay for than the penny
stick of 128 MB memory off the cheapest Pricewatch vendor, but you'll
never go wrong with them.
