With Corsair and Kingston performance and value memories alike seen between $250-$300 at newegg for DDR2 800 the OCZ Platinum Revision seen at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227139 offered the best timings along with being a premium brand to start with.

they are most likely noobs using motherboards that only work with JEDEC certified memory (Intel 965 Express chipsets come to mind, they require 1.8v to boot up)... if the memory is made to run @ anything but 1.8v the whole system most likely won't boot up... you have to change your RAM voltages in you BIOS when you get it to POST...

in short, they just don't know the solution to their problem...

lol... it coulda been bad if some noob took it and tried to beat it into somebody else's head that XXXX told me that XXXX and XXXX... and to fix it you just XXXX... when low and behold i screwed up and they put the blame onto me that their $4,000 gaming rig didn't POST... i just wanted to be sure i got it right ...

 

[lb562high]

haha...so would you also recommend the same ram to compliment my rig?

word of the day is compliment

 

[goosy22]

yes i would... because you motherboard doesn't need specifically "JEDEC certified memory running @ 1.8v with timings of 5-5-5 or 6-6-6" to POST...

 

[lb562high]
