1033 Ballstix ON Asus Striker Extreme

[TrECeNTeRs]

I have alot of probs with this ram on this board. Is it because its 1033 and ony 800 works??

Why is this ram made? I thought this was a top of the line board...

NVIDIA Chipsets are the most prone to Memory issues from populating all 4 slots.

The best way to go is High Density Micron D9GSV 2x2Gig. on that and most chipsets.
There is no real good reason to go over PC 6400 800 Mhz. Good Micron Chips will overclock, and preform well.

Until Crucial begins selling this kind of High Density Dimm.... Mushkin is the best source.

Whats a ram that will FOR SURE work with this board?

http://usa.asus.com/100/downlo...ducts/1439/1439_10.pdf

It seems anything that is ddr2 800 will work and no 1033 will work at all.

(Also the PDF shows that only the 1GB DDR2-800 sticks will work) So I don't know if I should even try a set of 2gig sticks...

Whats the best ram I can get that will not do this to me?


I am so tired of doing RMA's for parts on this new rig I feel that newegg uses 2nd hand parts... I mean cmon ... a sound card and a bad processor and now this ram issue all in one order..
Driving me mad...

A sound card I can see.... But onward and upward...CPU's are never bad... you stand a better chance of winning the lottery than you do of getting a bad processor. (1.5:1,000,000)

The issues that you are having is not the fault of The Egg.... NVIDIA Chipsets are Famous for this ......that is one of the reasons I don't put them in anything anymore except a Spec'ed AMD rig...

The Memory that I linked above will give you High Density Micron D9GSV memory that should work like a charm... It is hard to find right now as D9GSV is out of production, and the Fabs are waiting for an equivalent IC from Micron.

You will have to look around a little and you might find this RAM that I speced. It will get you to 4 Gigs on two sticks, and is very clockable.

The Egg had it until last week Friday.

I looked at a few places.. It is Grim right now... the other High density kits are not very promising, as far as performance.

I'll try to get in contact with my friendly Micron Rep.. and find out what the new IC is, and who will be fabbing them...

Well... I am in a situation ..

I have a pc and no ram I am not really worried about performance as much as just something that is stable enough to not crash me every 30 minutes.

I have to RMA all this ram back .. a whole 6 gig from where I thought some was defectiv.

So I gotta figure out something to buy. I don't think I have time to wait for a new product.

What are all the guys with striker boards usen anyways?

 

[TrECeNTeRs]

Ohh ok.. didn't catch That last part. Yeah, I would apreciate it if you could find out what will be the next to ship it.

I cant believe how bad the good memory errors out on this board no matter what settings you use.

That is the tight timed kit... the other kit is not even listed.. on the Egg and is about $300.00... I personally have the tight timed kit, and it works very well... but $200.00 is alotta coins.. over and above the other kit

I sent you the Manufacturer's product page... I tried to find some but did not have all day to search for it...

Will this work the same? I can't find the other type. I noticed on the egg someone said it dont work with thier striker board.


I just dunno what to do. I gotta get somethin done an get that RMA/Swap done and quick.
So just need something that will run stable. Dont care how much I gotta pay ... Can't let a 3 grand system go to waiste,
