Ballistix PC8500

[SWFLTrader]

I have gone thru 6 sets of this ram so far with no luck, all single sided PC8500. I am now testing sets 7 & 8 and for a couple of hours I thought I had found something that worked both sets seem to have the same bin# on all 4 sticks CL1118N.NX I left the timings on auto as that is the only way it will set the timings correctly on my board.

wouldnt run at 800mhz without memtest errors, switched to 1066 and ran fine with memtest for 4 hrs, then ran P95 small fft for 2+hrs as soon as it got to 40K test got the BSOD now have errors at 1066 in memtest. same pattern of degradation as the other 6 sets. I have tried voltages from 1.9 to 2.25 it doesnt make a difference, tried changing FSB & NB voltage, but, at some point you have to say enough is enough. I have 2 more sets arriving tomorrow which will probably be single sided and if those dont test out, then I am switching to G.Skill, Crucial has been good for a while, but these latest single sided dimms are junk and shouldnt have been released, I know DDR2 prices have dropped like a rock and the suppliers are trying to move inventory but this is rediculous
