    Somewhat good news. I recieved an email from Crucial with my order number concerning the new parts they shipp 3 day UPS yesterday. I checked on the part and they are confirmed BL12864AA1065.16FD5. Those are the double sided ic's aren't they? Wonder which D9's they are? Is there a way to tell without pulling the heatsinks off? Wouldn't that void warranty? At least they aren't the 8FE"x"'s. Sorry for the questions.

    Good Bye Ballistix single sided sticks

    Well after throwing in the towel (tested 10 sets total with all the RMA's), I just shipped my 4 sets of Crucial DDR2 1066 ram back to the egg for a full refund (they are awesome about that) and ordered the new
    G.Skill F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK R - Retail, got 2 sets so I can run 8gig on my Maximus Formula

    I will let you know how it works out, there are limited reviews on the new 8500 sticks but I'm guessing that they will work better than the ballistix
