crucial vs mushkin for my abit KT7-Raid

[zuze]

which one should I get?

Both will work well,but the Mushkin will probably give you higher overclock ability, but on a AMD board it won`t since you cannot overclock the FSB that much.Go with Crucial it`s cheaper.

ehh another $160 spent in my quest for stability with abit kt7-raid.
I am in a pretty pathetic situation ride now. I have an amd approved power supply(fortron source 300W) and corsair 128mb stick of ram. My system lets me do the install of win98 and after I get into windows the first time it is fine. But... after I reboot the damn thing just goes to the blue screen or black screens(it waries from each install). That is just weird. I swapped out for a micron 64mb stick and then for 2 two more generic modules in that system. Guess which modules give more stability? The generic ones!!!!! GOD DAMN IT!!They still give a lot of trouble like locking up the system totaly and screwing up with installs. Just about to swap out for an MSI board. Screw "higher performance"-stability is all that matters.

From what you've said here, I don't think your problems are all ram related! 1) install at failsafe settings in bios and creep them up after O/S install 2) try install with video card only 3) if the prior don't work what is the temp of your system/cpu? If non of this works with new ram........email me, I'll buy the KT7 from you! I love them, have two running right now, one with a 1G T-bird and one with an 850 T-Bird!

Hi,

I am still having problems with that Abit KT7-RAID.
Here is what I tried over the weekend:

1.Switch ram for a PC100 128MB Generic + plus 2 fresh reinstalls ouside the case(I got the most stability with this module, but still I was getting bluescreens after running for about five minutes+sudden freeses).
2.Switch ram for a PC133 128MB Mushkin + fresh reinstalls outside the case. That didn't fix the problem completely. I was getting sudden freeses and "performed illegal operation" with IE and Notepad.
3.Switch case to a Enlight w/ 250W AMD approved power supply(that was done with mushkin module).Same thing.

Thanks for offering to purchase my mobo in case of my failure to comply with that system requirements . I can still RMA the board though.I will try out that first. and I don't think that you will want it. if you search the forums by my username you can read the previous posts that I had about it. Plus the techsupport from the place where I bought it wasn't too enthusiastic about the board's future.

Mushkin! They have theirs in stock! Crucial dosent have anything in stock. Mushkin also sells 150 mhz ram!

what do you mean? how long of a delay it imposes on a purchase?
NOS, if you give some more info I would greatly appreciate it.
