Good news unclewebb my OCZ reapers arrived and the 2X2GB sticks booted right up !!!
I have not yet cut power but even a shutdown in windows and my PC boots right up.
You are awesome for posting the link to those reapers and just now I checked newegg they are back up to $80+ USD
I paid $66 LOL. They run awesome at 4-4-4-12-4-42-3-9-6-9 DDR2800 with my E6420 @ 3200 8X400
