What is the MB model ? Sounds like one of those
dual-LAN setups, but Item 2 is not familiar to me. =20

Your first step should probably be to look up the
detailed board specs at the mfr.s website. I've been
doing that lately for a bunch of Gigabyte boards --
primarily Socket 939 type -- in order to compare the
particular features I'm looking for. The info is
fairly complete, although it would be nice to have
some definitive list for which boards support ECC
memory, and which ones don't. I may have to contact
the mfr. for that.
