The quality of their product may be fine, but I have a lot of information at this point that indicates that they're improperly claiming parts as being compatible where they're not - at least in my case. I'm still investigating and I'll post mea culpas all over the place if I'm wrong, but it...

Thanks, Kevlarman... that's useful information! Hopefully we'll get to the bottom of this.

I'd agree, *except* that Corsair states on their website that's it's compatible. They don't say it's 'compatible, but only two sticks at a time' - they just say compatible. If they state that, but it's not actualy the case, then that's false advertising, which is wrong and illegal. See...

Actually, I didn't mistake them - I just noticed this guy has the same mobo as I do, so I thought I'd warn him of the problem I'm having. I would agree with you that Crucial is very good - I've probably bought 400 - 500 sticks over the years and I've had maybe one or two problems. They're my...

Sorry about the reading - I kinda wanted to open some discussion not just on my problem, but a perceived problem (in the cases listed) of memory manufacturers being sloppy or possibly negligent with compatibility qualifications, in addtion to my personal issue. The former is a larger deal in my...

Settings have always been at default (command rate default is 2T). As I stated in my original post, I want to have the box running in a stabla default configuration for a few weeks before I start tweaking.

Two words when buying server memory: Extremely conservative.

IMHO - send the bad stick(s) back.

Are the DIMMs double-sided? How many chips? In certain circumstances, I have seen motherboards only find half the RAM on a module if don't support double-sided or 16-chip DIMMs. The machines ran fine (knock on wood), but they never found all of the RAM.

See my thread: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=929377 Pending resolution of this issue, I would stay the heck away from Corsair.

Are your DIMMs 8-chip or 16-chip? I'm not familiar with your MSI board, however, since the memory controller is on the Athlon64, your problem may be similar to mine (if your DIMMs are 16-chip): http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=929377 I don't have the answer (yet), but if I can...

Ok, I'm going to ask you [H]ardForum types if I'm smoking crack. Some history (please bear with me here): I'm building a new system. I've been building & upgrading systems since the days when overclocking meant seeing how high your 6MHz 8086 chip could go by soldering in new clock crystals...

I've got a bunch (10) of the A7N8X-VM/400 boards, and I'm having a nasty time with memory... I've tried the following DIMMS, and have been unstable with WinXP, WinNT4, Knoppix 3.3, Insert Linux 1.2.4, and MemTest32 v3.0 Did not work: PNY Ultra 512MB PC2700 (1 stick) D512MPC27OPT...
