There was a review of this board when it came out at tom's hardware or
anadtech, I'm not sure which. They tested registered vs non-registered
memory. If you use more than two DIMM slots, you need registered. Three
non-registered DIMMs won't work, and two non-registered plus one registered
won't work either. It doesn't explode or catch fire (only if the heatsink
falls off..), but won't pass POST. Registered ECC is only a couple dollars
more than non-registered ECC, so there really is no reason not to get it.
