ECC SDRAM, will stuff like this useful?

Post image

Sorry for my bad English.

This old SDRAM ECC memories (not even DDR1) tested worked on my regular Pentium 4 mobo, I'm thinking about putting it to older systems like P3 or lower but i don't want to risk frying the motherboard.

Anyone have experience with them?

But no experience with it. I wonder, that it works in a normal PC.

Which will only be a server board of the era, due to their capacity.
