Anyone running with G.skill 4GB (2x2GB) 6400c5 PQ - if so how do they perform. I cant find a decent review of them. I have just dual installed Vista x64 with winxp pro
and have ordered these sticks instead of 4x1gb ballistix 8500C5. I though they would be easier on the board memory controller from what I have read but I might regret it if they they wont run decent timings.
Edit 06/07 - Answer my own question. I got these sticks and found I could only post and boot to winxp pro with SPD enabled. Vista x64 hung on black screen after logo - I know there is a hot fix for 4GB problems but I think this is more board compatibility. I trired reducing to rated settings of 5,5,5,15 with memset and the system froze. This was running on my current settings for 3.6ghz. - fsb400 and ddr800 FSb=1.3v,MCH=1.65,ICH=1,2v. I tried memory at 1.8-2.0v and with MCH=1.75 with no joy . I also flashed to BIOS2103 in case there was a memory compatibility issue I had missed but no joy so I am going to change them for 4x1GB ballistx 8500C5's and see how I get on with them.
