Unbuffered DDR2 ECC with 4-bit chips

My motherboard, a Biostar TA760G M2+, supports ECC chipkill if your modules use 4-bit chips. However, unbuffered ECC DDR2 modules from the usual suspects (Crucial, Kingston), use 8-bit chips.

Has anyone seen unbuffered ECC DDR2 modules using 4-bit chips? Do they even exist?

You have to specifically look for the term "chipkill" on a package of ECC memory modules. Unfortunately, such modules are much more expensive than regular ECC unbuffered modules. And the unbuffered ECC modules from the "usual suspects" do not support chipkill at all regardless of the system that the memory is installed in.
