Best Ram for IC7 for Dual Channel???

[CCC]

Hey all whats up:)

I have an IC7, im using 2 sticks of 512mb Corsair PC3500(1 stick i bought almost 6 months ago and the 2nd stick i bought about 2 weeks ago)...

When using them together in dual channel im getting alot of crashes, even with cpu at stock speeds and ram settings at their slowest.

It runs fine with either stick by themselves. So i guess since i bought the 2 sticks so far apart they dont want to work right together in dual channel:confused:

Should i just buy another new stick of Corsair PC3500, matching up better with the new stick that i have??? Or get a couple of sticks of Kingston Hyper X??? Or maybe even Geil ram???


Thanks for the help

The Corsair XMS 3500 actually does great in the IC7. I had alot of trouble with my older XMS 3500 too until I flashed to BIOS 11. The original shippin BIOS 10 caused BSODs on the install of the OS. Since the the flash to 11, it's been as smooth as silk. So flash to the 11 or 13 (the 13 works great too with the XMS 3500).

actually ive already flashed to v1.1 and im still having problems, i havent tried v1.3 yet cause i heard there were some problems with it...

Im using slots 1 & 3, maybe i should try slots 2 & 4??
