Here is the ram it works great http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820208343

thanks TRT. Which bios were you using when you had this problem? I'm going to switch to 1002 tonight and see if I still have the same issue.
That's not a bad option if I end up deciding to try new ram, although I wonder how their customer service is. I was looking at the Ballistix 1066 sticks as well, as I know their service is top notch.

Also, the SPD on my ram is already set at ddr2-533 @ 1.8v according to cpu-z. So, me altering it would probably have no effect crazy.
