Um, do ECC memory modules have error correction circuit built into
them?  Or does the motherboard have to provide the functionality?  If
the latter, do most PC motherboards actually provide it?  I'm just
wondering if it buys me anything to replace the non-parity PC100 SDRAM
DIMM on my 440BX-based motherboard with an ECC one.

Thanks,
