Hi, Chad--

I've got a Shuttle AK31v3 motherboard which does registered+ECC memory, 
which is a single-proc motherboard:

System Mainboard
Manufacturer : HOLCO (Shuttle)
MP Support : No
Model : VT8366-8233
BIOS ID : 04/17/2002-VT8366-8233-6A6LVH2CC-00
Chipset : VIA KT266/A Chipset

[ ... ]
Logical/Chipset Memory Banks
Bank 0 Setting : 128MB DDR-SDRAM Registered 8-1-1-1R 4-1-1-1W 2.5-3-3CL 
1CMD
Bank 1 Setting : 128MB DDR-SDRAM Registered 8-1-1-1R 4-1-1-1W 2.5-3-3CL 
1CMD
Bank 2 Setting : 256MB DDR-SDRAM Registered 8-1-1-1R 4-1-1-1W 2.5-3-3CL 
1CMD
Speed : 2x 133MHz (266MHz data rate)
Multiplier : 1/1x

Memory Modules
Memory Module 1 : Micron 18VDDT3272DG-265Z1 080EBD07 256MB 18x(16Mx8) 
ECC
DDR-SDRAM PC2100R-2533-750 (CL2.5 upto 133MHz) (CL2 upto 100MHz)
Memory Module 2 : Micron 9VDDT3272G-265B2 1B1B108E 256MB 9x(32Mx8) ECC
DDR-SDRAM PC2100R-2533-750 (CL2.5 upto 133MHz) (CL2 upto 100MHz)

...but you are right that ECC support is quite uncommon for AMD 
motherboards.
