I have the following memory that I would like to use in a newer motherboard but due to the ecc I cannot use it in my currently mb. Would anyone have a good reference or recomendation on a AMD mb that would match this memory and have the following.

Memory: 2GB (2x1GB) Compaq/HP Proliant BL/DL/ML 184p PC2100 ECC DIMM Memory Kit (p/n 300680-B21)

Form Factor: ATX
Processor: AMD 3200 or better.
Storage Controller: ATA-133, Serial ATA-150, Serial ATA II
Video: PCI-Express single or SLI

Trying to put some older memory to use since I when ahead and purchased it at an auction for cheep.

Thanks in advance,

I don't think that ram will run with AMD64 chips

Opterons require registered ECC ram
X2 / AMD64 chips will only run unbuffered ram

The ram might run on a x2 / amd64 chip, but with ecc disabled and with slow timings.......but I couldn't be sure.......not enough to tell you to spend hard earned cash.....sorry

Well it looks like the Asus MB might fit the bill but wanted to get other advice on this before going out and purchasing one of there 939 AMD MB.

From the Asus web site for A8N-VM* Motherboards.

Memory 4 x 184-pin DIMM Sockets support max. 4GB
DDR400/DDR333/DDR266 ECC/ non-ECC,un-buffered memory
Dual Channel Architecture

I believe the memory I have is ECC/184-ping DDR266.

Am I on the right track?

Let me know,

Actually that board will work
It's also a very solid and stable board too!
