Asus A7V333 and Kingmax PC2700 DDR

[Bilbo]

I have heard some rumors about getting problems with this combination. I'm asking this because my system is very unstable and I experience several bluescreens and lockups. I also get messages like I have to replace corrupted system files.
When running Memtest86 I get many errors in test 5 and 6.

Thanks in advance,
Martin

Some people over at the AMDMB.com forums have mentioned this, but they often are the result of a bad DIMM. What I do recommend, however, is that you put the RAM in the 2nd or 3rd DIMM bank, rather than the first. I had some problems (with Mushkin memory), and I think it might have been caused by the RAM being too close to my heatsink. Moved it to the 2nd bank, and it's worked great ever since. Running XP2000+ @147FSB (1838) with no stability issues.
