That memory will not work with that board, it's more than twice the maximum speed supported by your board. It's also not ECC when your board does support ECC RAM, so I would suggest something more like this here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G28N5871&cm_re=16gb_ddr3_1333_ecc-_-20-239-454-_-Product
The main difference is that if data becomes corrupt within memory or in transfer to/from memory, then ECC memory will detect and attempt to correct this.

A search of Newegg revealed that the models from Crucial that are ECC capable do not run at the voltage that your board supplies (1.5v).
Also, you can put a faster DIMM in, but it's going to be massively underclocked and you will likely end up with lower performance than if you buy a stick (or kit) that matches the abilities of the onboard memory controller.
