Accepted Answer

My short answer: no.  This motherboard appears to be from an Inspiron 570 which likely does not support ECC memory.

There are several options for finding memory that will work.  
1.  check the service tag on dell's website by googling 'dell service tag'.  Under the 'current configuration' it will tell you what type of memory the computer originally shipped with.  From this you can find replacement memory.
2. Google 'crucial memory finder'.  Answer the questions about what type of computer you are looking to upgrade.  Eventually this will tell you what options crucial has for upgrades.  More important is this will tell you the maximum amount and type of memory that will work with your motherboard.  You can then locate that type of memory on Newegg to purchase.

Most important -> do not order memory without knowing what you need.  This particular memory module will most often be used in a server, not a desktop.
