The ECC RAM must be DDR PC2100.

Hello Pravoslavnaya,

To answer the first question, yes.

For one example, Aopen has the MK77M-V motherboard which appears to
meet all your needs. See
  http://usa.aopen.com/products/mb/MK77M-V.htm
for the vendor's site describing the product or
  http://www.extrememhz.com/aopen-p1.shtml
for a pretty extensive review of this product.

There also seem to be several prebuilt systems as well with that
combination of features. There were other boards with similar
capabilities, but did not mention PC2100 memory explicitly. You may
find some of them will work as well.

For more references, try search phrases such as:
  micro atx ecc -"non ecc" athlon xp
for systems or
  motherboard micro atx ecc -"non ecc" athlon xp
for motherboards.

Note the use of -"non ecc" in the search phrase to help remove pages
of boards that do not support ECC. You can also add -Pentium and -Xeon
to the search phrase to help restrict the pages to AMD compatible
products. Perhaps a more focused search can be done using
  pc2100 km266 micro atx ecc -"non ecc"
or
  km266 micro atx ecc -"non ecc"
which appears to find good references without a lot of false hits.

Good luck with your work.

i'd rather get answers instead of instructions on how to search for
answers.  the limited amount of information was disappointing.

There may be a couple of others that might also fit your needs.
Newegg.com has a nice search feature that lets you set the form
factor, socket, chipset, memory configuration, etc. that you want. I
saw 3 socket A Micro-ATX boards that use DDR. I didn't go any deeper
than that...
