    almost is a good chosen word

    I think it all depends on what your purpose is. If you want good performance in daily use....there are many chips around. If you want extreme results...well....there are always risks involved, not only in Micron's case. That's something a hardcore overclocker has to take upon him

    Well, as I said, memory controller being the fault here should be blamed as well for killing Microns.

    The memory controller seems to set too strong drive strengths which is unneeded. Maybe the memory controllers which kill Microns cant even select other than auto Drive Strengths. If they can do, it's still the fault of the memory controller BUT I think with nowadays possibilities of EPP/SPD it should be possible to force lower Drive Strengths?

    If those are the problem of course. I just dont hope my RAM to die cause that would throw about every bit I said on this page in a pile of crap.
