I have personnally seen it report erroneous information. I have an MSI K7N2 delta 2 platinum. It reported that my system only takes 333 when in fact it takes DDR 400 Ram. So yes - it is inaccurate. Why would anyone want to buy memory that does not maximize the capability of their system? Especially RAM. And we're not talking overclocking. We're talking stock speeds. The best advisor for anyone is to contact the motherboard manufactuer.SNGX1275 said:Thats a bold statement to make without backing it up. I've seen Crucial advised many times on several forums and never once seen anyone say that it is unreliable.
If you mean unreliable as in it will tell you 5300 RAM when you really can only take advantage of 4600, then maybe, but if you click on show all it will show you all compatable the 4600 will be there. And that is even a stretch, because in the left column it will show you exactly what it can take maximum, and explain compatability.
I suggested using it because I have never heard of it telling someone they needed DDR2 when they needed DDR.
that was my point. no offense taken!SNGX1275 said:Looks to me like they will advise you on the compatable RAM for that board.

I agree you should check with your motherboard manufacturer if you want to buy the fastest RAM your board can handle, but if you just want someone to tell you what type will work Crucial fits the bill.
