Speederlander, why 8GB? What happens at 8GB that makes ECC important? Or are you just trying to say that if you use it as a permanent RAM drive you should use it? I wouldn't recommend ever disabling the feature. 1/9th of your capacity isn't much to lose to prove your data is correct via ECC.

Me personally, I intend to buy 4GB sticks for all 8 slots and make it my boot drive, with 2x1TB hard drives for storage space. I have a RAID5 array consisting of 8x1TB drives, so I don't really need to keep alot of storage space on my workstation.

I'm sorry I haven't had a change to test the RAID0 using the onboard RAID chipset. Work has kept me busy this weekend, but I intend to get results as soon as I can. I'm just as curious as others to see what the RAID chipset can do. My motherboard is an Asus P5E if anyone wants to look up the RAID chipset. I think it's the ICH9R.
