Maybe some glasses would do you some good. See page 2 of :
http://www.raq550.nl/datasheet.raq550.pdf.

So its not registered ECC but normal ECC.

This are the configurations that are going to be shipped probably:
Intel Pentium 3 1.0GHz, 256MB, 1 x 40GB
Intel Pentium 3 1.0GHz, 256MB, 2 x 40GB
Intel Pentium 3 1.26GHz, 256MB, 1 x 80GB
Intel Pentium 3 1.26GHz, 512MB, 2 x 80GB
Intel Pentium 3 1.26GHz, 1GB, 2 x 80GB

Btw, if you want SCSI drives and Xeon/8GB mem, I gues Sun/Cobalt isn't
something for you.
