Steven, your list of Intel chipsets missed a few and gave some more credit than they deserve. BX did EEC but that was the last in the line. For many chipsets to come, ECC memory has not been supported. In recent years, the 810/815xx series was Intel's best and none of these supported ECC. I couldn't tell you if any Rambus chipset does ECC because I was too busy looking for DDR. Almost all the AMD chipsets support ECC but I would never own one (too much heat!) No Celerons here. I chose a Tualatin 1.2GHz PIII and CL2 RAM over all else. "Cool" is my only goal. Stuff any AMD or P4 CPU into a case and you have heaters at work. Put one or two Tualatin PIII CPUs into a case and it stays cool. T's may be expensive but my case temp has never risen over 86F. Tell me about your supercoooled P4 and/or AMD-based systems and be sure to write when your drives or other components fail over time. Don't forget to mention any "lock-ups" that you experience. Be sure to provide lessons in the proper methods for installing heatsinks and various means of playing CD music to drown out the noise from all of your fans. Me ... I keep my Tualatin-based PC on ... and it just keeps going ... it is so cool that I have to heat the space via A/C and it is so quiet because of the retail Intel fans that a baby could sleep. Craig
