ok guys.. i have some new info for you. i was getting tired of everyone saying that crucial is not compatible with MF and decided to speak to crucial myself. i went online and had a chat with one of their agents who in turn checked with the tech dept. to make a long story short, according to crucial, the PC8500 kit is not compatible with the X38 mobo. however, this is only true if you run 4 pcs of the ram with the same specs on a X38 mobo and it would probably kill the ram. according to Crucial, if you run 2pcs however, there should be no problems.

if you insist on running 4 pcs of the ram on a X38 mobo, then you need to run it at lower speeds and or latencies and the ram could probably work without problems. only if you run at rated speeds there is a risk.

however, kudos to crucial that they r not shirking their responsibility to replace the modules which consumers have already bought albeit with something cheaper (they dont have a choice there) or you could keep the in store credit to get something else from them. they also pay for shipping.

if anyone has further doubts, please let me know.

you think your words are the ultimate truth? whats wrong with some additional information and double confirmation?

and yes kudos to crucial. in a business where there are so many vendors who shirk their responsibility crucial IMO are doing the right thing by offering the next best thing they have plus your exact change in balance. and i say again Kudos to crucial.
