Mix ecc and non-ecc memory

Sandra utility says that I have ecc memory... I very surpised as I though that Dell shipped non-ecc by default.  I boust a 8200 2.53 with 256 PC800 ram about a month ago.  Any comments?

    As you will see from here, Dell supplies NON-ECC RAM therefore if they installed ECC, then you have really lucked out.

    Guess you did not luck out,  I've found that Sandra can make errors, the reason why I stopped using it last year.

    Yes, but it would be a waste of money, because the ECC would become compatible to the cheaper NON-ECC.

    Can we mix a pair of non-ecc PC800 ram with another pair of ecc ram for the 8200?
