Okay, I just had massive failures on at least two of the four Crucial Ballistix 1GB DDR2-800 modules in my system (see sig). System won't even boot with several of them in the #1 spot, and when I removed them, the heatspreaders were extremely warm.
I'm getting them RMA-ed, but I'm thinking of going to a 2 x 2GB kit to ease the stress, possibly lower-voltage stuff. I was wondering if anyone has these G.Skills in their system, and if so, what their experience has been:

Not many modules have lower voltage specs like that at the same time as 4-4-4-12 timings, so I'm a little curious.
If not, I may just get Crucial's Ballistix 2 x 2GB kit. The 4 Ballistix 1GB modules have been in the system for going on two years, and only started having issues in the past week (so it's not like they've been problematic until now), and it looks like the newer Crucial modules are down to 2.0v (as opposed to mine, which required 2.2v for 4-4-4-12 timings). I don't want to break the bank, as I'm not doing extreme overclocking (the most I'll ever consider is pushing the FSB to the newer 1333 speed).
