I had great, fantastic plans to completely rebuild my main box this coming year, but that's not going to happen. However, I'd like to drag the life out a little longer by moving from 2GB of PC2-6400 to 4GB.
I run an Asus P5B Premium with a Pentium E2160 (OC'd to 2.93GHz) and 2GB of OCZ PC2-6400 DDR2. It works fine, but I'd like to move to a 4GB set.
I know the P965 chipset can run up to 8GB, but I don't want to invest that much into DDR2. If I can run both my current set and the new sticks, great, but I'm not going to lose my mind if it doesn't work.
I had a set of DDR1 Ballistix when I had my DFI NF4, but I had to send them in for replacement many times. I am willing to give the line up another shot, but I'm a little leery between my experiences and others with various Ballistix kits. A lifetime warranty is fantastic, but I don't want to keep sending in my RAM, so what I need to know is if Crucial has fixed whatever issues caused them to fail?
