I don't think enabling ECC will do any damage, but your memory will not work.

Can't help with the second one.

Yah. Even if you do get your memory to work (assuming that the chips can have ecc enabled -- a longshot at best), ecc is a feature for improving the reliability of your memory at the cost of speed.

As far as your second question, if your computer runs at the speed you expect it to, then the number in the post screen is only a number and not worth worrying about. I am a bit behinf the curve on intel at the moment but it could just be reporting the cpuid. Also 2 mhz is not a big change, perhaps the BIOS is just rounding the actual number down to a limited number of options it is programmed to dislpay.
