"To exist in this vast universe for a speck of time is the great gift of life. Our tiny sliver of time is our gift of life. It is our only life. The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else's. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we have. Cherish it for what it truly is."
On this news, you can already see that many sites have raised the price of their current 'old' Ballistix PC2-8500 stock.

Exactly
You're welcome
Can't say I've tested temps, I always run with a couple of 80mm fans around the NB and RAM.
About the tRFC, apart from the normal 4 settings (tCL, tRTC, tRP, tRAS), the rest were left on Auto and I used a P5K Deluxe.
If you can get hold of an old set then they're bound to be better, and UK-US pricing is a bit messed up. £60 is a very good price for these, and they're back in stock in a number of shops as well.
You're welcome! Unfortunately I'm in the middle of moving house at the moment (far too much going on in my personal life ) so I'm a bit pre-occupied. Veritas has just posted what he's got so hopefully that helps...I will do in a week or so if still required.
I'm glad people like it

I have the new one's and can't say any positive about. Worked great for one week @ 1080MHz and 5.5.5.15 @ v2.23 and now my system is totally unstable with them so I put back in my Super Talent and they work just fine. No matter what I set them up the system become unstable @ all settings can't run them even @ stock
Any suggestions ?
Can't believe Crucial has gone junk with their high-end serie... I guess I'll stick with 2GB and grab some G.Skill 4GB PC2-8000 down the road...

Looks like the Crucial PC2-5300 CAS3 modules with ending batch of 8FE4 are ones which are single sided as well ...!

Has anyone been through all the combos of MHz, timings and volts with these new sticks?
etc etc etc
More than one way to skin a cat- maybe we need to change our expectations because the density and tech process is different- I wouldnt call RAM @ 2.2V bench-ready
If it does just under 600MHz 5-5-5 @ 2.2V PRIME STABLE, I wouldnt instantly call that a write-off for 650MHz SPi32M @ 2.4V?
so what now? just move on to some G.Skillz?

No more computer parts for me... Well for now until I
really REALLY need to upgrade.
I have 4GB of Ballistix 8500 on their way to me from ClubIT, so hopefully I'll get the old batch.

I just bought some from ClubIT and they're the new ones. I think I'm going to return them but there's a 15% return fee. I advise you to cancel.
