wow SO angry

just got off the phone with Crucial

no dual sided RAM parts left ....

and there is nothing they can do. I told them that its not the same part (different heatsink, different ICs etc) - but they said it is the same product as its rated at the same speed - I'm not sure I agree with this. If I bought say a Mercedes and it could do 140mph .. I then had problems with it and they replaced it with a Skoda that had a top speed of 140mph ... excellent its the same product as it has one headline spec that is the same ...

They've said that as all 4 1gb modules don't form a kit - then there is nothing they can do.

VERY annoyed - asked to speak to a manager there later.

I'm left with 2 pairs of incompatible RAM - as Crucial have changed their part, that now works in my mobo at a maximum of 740 CAS5 - vs 1100 CAS5 that I had before.

I'll never buy another Crucial product again

Mark.
