Hello everyone.

Whats the best value ram, that runs below 2.5v, that is Dual 1Gb (2x 512mb) and is compatible with s754?

Mobo is GA_K8VM800M

This PC is not intended for OCing, just a ram to make my parents PC more stable and my games stable wile I build my own PC (as shown in my signature below)

I think my RAM is faulty, slow, and incompatible with my A64 3200+ since it runs on Single mod and makes everything lag when the system is on load with lots of heavy files, but I do know its a piece of cr:banana::banana:...

Someone please help me

I have a stick of Mushkin green line that works great, its set for 2.5-4-4-8, but runs fine at 200Mhz 2-3-3-8, unfortunately the other stick I use won't run at CL-2(generic stuff), and my motherboard won't adjust memory timings beyond cas latency.
Newegg has pairs of 512MB sticks for $81

When I go to the gigabyte site and look at the FAQ, I find something simmilar to my Single mod problem. It gives me this link...

HP gave me 2 of these.
http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820147111

CPU-Z shows DDR333 running at 2.5, 3, 3, 7

Would it be this on the chart?

If its that, wouldnt taking one card out make things more stable?

Ive been having crashes lately on games like SC:Chaos Theory and some lag on CS:S
Should I remove one card (1x 512mb)? Would i gain more stability acording to the chart because it would become compatible?
I dont think crashes are related with CPU or GPU overheating or driver problems since the ive had 3 GPUs that have had the same problem, and increasing air flow doesnt seem to make a diference. Almost everything is updated except the 2 mems, the HD, and CD-R. Everything else was updated and I still have the same problem afther I updated, so thats why Im guessing its the mem.

Can anyone help me? :(
