D-Link switch and ecc-memory.

[Joseph E. Rose, Jr.]

I've seen that the Athlon chipsets don't support registered memory, but the
ASUS I am using offer the ECC option in the BIOS.

As far as I know none of the Athlon motherboards support ECC memory.  They
will run with the memory, but you won't get any of the benifits.
