Currently got 2GB of cheap pc6400, when I say cheap it was 130 quid when I got it. Just ordered 2GB of OCZ Platinum Rev 2 for 35quid, get them Monday, the lifetime warranty sealed the deal though.
Here is a link if anyone is interested in cheap as chips memory.OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2 (OCZ2P800R22GK)

I recently saw some some G.Skill 2GB sticks on sale and couldn't resist. It's my first time running this brand but I have been impressed. They OC very well and run at very low voltage which is nice because my Patriot ram at 2.2v was scorching at times.
4GB(2x2GB) for $129 was just too tempting not to get two sets  |

Just had a couple of bad sticks. I got them replaced and its been running great since. Nice cheap ram tho, they oc well and run on low voltage (1.9v is enough for four sticks on this board). They've also dropped to $115 per 4GB since I bought them, I wonder how low they can go lol.

thanks for the reply Dipstick. it’s best that you found out the problem with the RAM stick itself so quickly.
there're more odds things can happen when populating all 4 DIMM slots, and it's most likely a compatibility issue with some certain RAM sticks and some certain board. in the case of the compatibility of RAM sticks, with an RMA request, G.Skill might help you locate ones that's compatible with each others. there's a chance of a BIOS bug also, i used to run into a problem, which i found that it's an odd BIOS bug, i mean i tried all the identical RAM sticks in the house, tried populating just one, two and all 4 DIMM slots and in any combination, i would get same error at the same stage. i had to reflash BIOS back to previous version and then reflashed back and forth a few time until i sure it's a BIOS bug and a compatibility issues. anyways, good to know that those sticks are working well for you, i will try it myself soon. |

No problem. The ram is cheap, it feels cheap, but it runs like advertised with low voltage. Can't ask for more than that. I did get four bad sticks out of six but they do run well on the Maximus and the P5K Deluxe.
I know that using four sticks makes some boards flip out but I've had extremely good luck on the P35 and X38's -my old P5WDH(975x) doesn't like to OC much with all slots loaded. For testing memory I use the MS memory test on my Vista install dvd. If the memory passes overnight extended tests its good to go. First thing I always do is check each stick individually so its easy to find the dead ones. No point in continuing if they cant run alone  I will say however that I miss the P5k, not only is it a better OC'er than the Maximus but its the best OC'er I've ever owned. I could do 485x7 on it with everything on auto, but I seem limited to 425x8 now. The x38 needs too much voltage and runs way hotter. |
