For the PC Hardware experts and enthusiasts:
Does anyone know where I can find...

1GB Modules of PC3200 (I'll settle for twin/matched pairs tho)
DDR400
ECC
Non-registered/Unbuffered
Dual-Channel Support
CAS 2 (Preferably, but 3 ok)
184 PIN
SPD support (For Intel 875PBZ mb)

I've looked everywhere..

Corsair doesn't make ECC Unbuffered unfortunately, and Newegg.com doesn't seem to carry any other brand of ECC unbuffered modules. I goofed up and bought the Intel D875PBZLK board (for the onboard RAID) without researching other boards to learn what is crap and what is as stable as the intel boards. Intel 875p doesn't support registered memory, I just learned, but I really want ECC - hence my problem finding the right (compatible) memory.

Any suggestions, sites, or brand recommendations appreciated! Thanks.

Since I only paid $130 for the board, if I have to I'll buy another brand board that supports everything above, including registered memory - but I don't know what boards are the best, most stable, and most flexible.

What alternative motherboards support all of the above and are top-notch (in your experience/opinion)? It would need to be compatible with my Pentium 4, 2.8EGHz, 800MHzFSB, 1MBL2, w/HyperThreading (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=19-116-170&depa=1">link).

Thanks for any and all help.

6. Mushkin stuff looks good, thanks

It's not ECC like I've wanted, but for the extra low latency I may just forego ECC. Plus it's certified for my mobo, always a plus.

7. Good site, thanks
Prices are great but I wish they had datasheets on the items though, not much info. And they only seem to carry 2.5v modules (my mobo requires modules of at least 2.6v)

9. call them - they may be able to help
I have never used the website to order - always call the toll free number listed at the top, tell them the MB or computer I have and go from there. They definately know their stuff.
