On the PIIIDM3 that I was working with I had both ECC and PC100 SDRAM. I
forget what I had and when. I did though at one point have ECC unbuffered
memory, and had ECC enabled. I will have some more of these boards later
these week and will retest them, making note of what I have in there. I'll
try ecc and pc100 individual and play with the settings, to see if I can
find exactly what configuration is giving the problem.
