well I see people useing it so it must be allright though ECC costs more
and is litle slower it used to be with large memory amnount you should
have ECC ... But anymore it doesn't look that way unless you running a server

Works just fine for me. I've never had trouble with my system. Don't know if I'm getting all I can out of them, but with my system, it doesn't really matter yet. They sure are cheaper.

just tried some sisoftsandra with the mem test.....everything seems okay, but it could impact Pshop performance I found out...sheesh

Error checking takes time, so non-ECC is quicker, but a lot of boards change to slower memory latency timings to accomodate the additional ram if all four slots are full.

I have the P4P800 and I am having trouble with the Mushkin DDR...sigh
I should have known

Mine did, but I set them back and had no problem, been running it for a couple months without trouble, is there anything I should be looking for?

Command rate (sometimes goes to 2T)... thats the biggest one
