ok thanks. i will write them an email then.
by the way, any reports that the RMA-ed ram (which is assumed to be newer versions), fail at the same rate? lol...i don't wanna RMA all day.

which ram brand do you recommend? corsair? ocz?

I have had good experience myself with OCZ though Corsair makes decent RAM as well. You might want to look into G.Skill.

I will say this, Crucial tested and replace my bad stick of Ballistix free of charge (minus shipping cost on my end) and I haven't had an issue since.

okay. thanks. the problem is because i live far off from USA, so the postage fee itself for DHL could buy me new pair of sticks. LOL...until i resolve a cheaper way...hmm...

my DDR400 last time was Gskill. good 3 years of usage. no problems.

Hmmm, it seems buying new memory would be cheaper! And, to be honest, I don't like/trust DHL all that much. I've had issues.

Let us know what you decide.
