Elpida Hyper chips have been having problems apparently. Corsair GT was just pulled off the market

I wonder what is OCZ stance in this. I just bought 8gb of platinum amd edition. Will see what happens they use elpida.

Well the advice was correctamundo.
The locally bought RAM was 30 bucks more but whats a few bucks when it comes to a mean lean audio machine.
I have just recieved a call that I can come by and test the machine.
It is running everything in 64bit right now but the RAM tip works fine according to the builder. My apps are mostly 32bit but a few are 64bit and they are working under XP64 with no troubles.
I really hope I can upgrade next year to the 4GB DIMM's for 16GB total in Windows 7.
I hate M$ but being able to assign cores efficiently is really useful for multiple audio apps.
If I feel the need to OC the 770 for extra juice I hope you guys don't mind a moron like me asking for more tips.
It seems like you guys know your hardware.

BTW how do you post a jpeg here when it asks for a URL and I only have a camera and HDD pictures?
I could show you guys how happy the 770 looks inside of a 4U ATX chassis.
I use 4 x Raptor 150's in a SATA RAID cage but only because the silence and cooling are needed, not the RAID.

Anyways thanks again and as Douglas MacArthur said............I shall return.

Upload the picture to an online hosting like image shack or photo bucket and put the direct link url in the box when prompted. I'd love to get a look at what it looks like.

scope4live. At the moment it a challenge to run 8GB (4x2gb) in an AMD box at reasonable speeds(though OCZ does that at 1600c7), but I would think that it will be a bit bigger challenge to get to work 16gb of ram in 770 motherboard

It's just the Elpida "Hypers" apparently, not every Elpida.

Well that's the beauty of AMD. If it doesn't work, the price to build another is so ridiculously cheap and powerful I will have no problem building 2 x w/ 8GB's.

But I am getting ahead of myself here. The most important app. I use for streaming is still in BETA for it's 64bit upgrade. I will upgrade by the end of summer. I don't think that I will see problems in 64bit w/ 8GB's, but 16GB's is a crapshoot. People who do what I am doing spend thousands on i7 and Dual Xeon builds.
Pro builders who design DAW's for big production facilities of course want me to spend 5 large on a DAW while they laugh about the AMD. " You're going to have crashes Live.....OMG."
They are just pissing on my back and trying to tell me that's it's raining.
5 Large for a simple streaming DAW.................that Dog Don't Hunt.
If I fail, I shall be quiet, but if this DAW works, even though the Gods tell me it won't, I should start building these for 2 grand and steal the business from these Intel/Mac elitists.
