Built a box for a friend. P5B-deluxe, e6600 @333fsbx9, latest BIOS, and 2x1gig PC2-6400 Ballistic. Vcore-auto, memory voltage-2.25. The first 2 sticks of memory would post but would not let me set the timing.(4-4-4-12) Would only boot with mem set by SPD at 5-6-6-18. Second set of memory, same thing. When I took stick2 out it would boot at 4-4-4-12. When I replaced stick1 with stick2 no post. So I'm thinking stick2 is bad. Crucial is sending me my third set but I was woundering if there is something I am not seeing or could the first two sets of Ballistic really be bad. I thought they were tested before shipped. Anybody else have a problem like this.
