Does Ballistix RAM still suck and die all the time?

whats wrong with ocz? i just bought corsair 4gb for 70 bux 1066 ddr2 (of course it was used but i never buy new unless cheaper than used would be.. ) i run tons of ocz ram as well i prob have 30gb of ddr2 atm and more than half of it is ocz with 0 issues hehe

checked out your link any my spare bedroom pc has 4gb of that stuff with 4gb of ocz working great for like past 6 months? Came with a q6600 for 160 so couldnt resist.
 
I have a 2x1GB pair of DDR2-800 Ballistix in my HTPC. Got them as part of a trade years ago and they're still going strong. The other pair is a 2x2GB set of HP branded Micron memory I think I paid all of $40 for back when they were practically giving DDR2 away.
 
It's hit or miss really...the good thing is Crucial knows this and doesn't hassle RMA's for them. I'm currently RMA'ing a set, and they sent me a UPS return label this time, I guess after 4 other RMA's in the last year they've decided to help me out a bit! I've had to RMA both 2.2v and 2.0v sets...

Cheapest on the shelf doesn't necessarily mean shitty RAM. I had no issues with my Ballistix DDR 400. It simply ran excellent for 2 years. These particular DDR2-800's have been a thorn in Crucial's side since they released them.
 
I've got 2 1GB sticks of DDR2 800 and 2 1GB sticks of DDR2 566 overclocked on my D975xbx2 mobo (famous for blowing slot 3 memory). 2.5 years, now...
