Where do you find parity enabled ram?

I guess I should post this here since it's now become a ram issue.
This is my motherboard :

Where do I find pc100 256mb ecc parity enabled ram?


The system board is equipped with three 168-pin DIMM (Dual
In-line Memory Module) sockets that support x64/x72 PC
SDRAM DIMM, 3.3V. PC SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random
Access Memory) uses a fast memory interface technology that
includes using the clock on the chip to synchronize with the CPU
clock so that the timing of the memory chips and the timing of the
CPU are synchronized. This saves time during transmission of data,
subsequently increasing system performance.
The system board also supports the ECC (Error Checking and
Correction) function. To use this function, you must install DIMM
that supports parity. That is, DIMM that typically has 9 memory
chips per side. This kind of module has 8 standard memory chips
and a parity chip. DIMM with no parity has 8 standard memory
chips only. Refer to chapter 1 (System Memory section) for
detailed specification of the memory supported by the system
board.

www.crucial.com The site can automaticly scan your system and show you the right type of RAM. You don't have to buy the RAM from them but they are a good seller.

why would you want to use ecc ram? it's incredibly expensive and is only used in situations where you can't afford to make mistakes like banking servers or something like that.

it supports ecc ram but you don't NEED to use ecc ram.
