2 Gb DDR sticks are buffered only. Only specific chipsets can understand such memory, but inclusion of ECC most likely does not matter and is ignored anyway. Why bother though? You can install Windows XP even on 4 Gb drive and it's more than enough for glorified pagefile.

Old ddr isn’t too pricy these days. If it would work, why not have twice the memory :p

If it's not pricy, why holding back? You can repurpose it later for Socket 939, even if it's not working.

Well, I don’t have anything else that would use it. And I can’t find any references that it would work so it seems I would be throwing money away. So that’s why. If I could find someone around here with one that has some 2g sticks laying around who could try it first or someone who knows that it would work then I would buy it. Just all the evidence so far says it won’t work so I’m just holding back till there is a gleam of hope 🤣.
