help me with my Ram dispute!

[Hankysmoo]

My friend just bought a stick of pc133 128mb sdram from taiwan for his new p3667 with an asus p3v4x. Because I just purchased a p3 550e and only had pc100 ram, i wanted to test its overclockability and therefore borrowed his ram for a day with my Asus Cusl2. So, I popped it in and immediately set the bus to 133. No boot, I couldn't believe it. So, I automatically assumed it was the cpu. Then, I lowered the bus to 100 and it booted into windows fine. I was pissed at the sucky overclock of my computer. So, i took out his ram and just put back in my old pc100. Just for fun, I decided to try 133 fsb. To my surprise it worked and everything ran fine up to around 138 cas3. So, i knew something was wrong with his ram. Now, I gave it back to him and he claims that it worked before but now after I gave it back to him, he is getting Memory checksum errors at bootup. He is blaiming me saying that I broke it and I should at least payback half of the cost of the ram. Do you guys think I broke his ram? What would you guys do if you were in my situation, should I pay half the cost of a new stick? this really sux...what a "Friend" he turned out to be...

Go to his place, test the ram yourself, and test some of your own ram in the system. If it turns out his ram really is broken, then I'd feel obligated to chip in for the new stuff, but that's me. You do what you feel is right and it'll probably come down to how good of a friend you two are.

Hmmm, I think you are the bad friend if you don't pay him half the cost of the ram. Unless, ofcourse you didn't put back the ram-module in his computer. If not then he could have brocken the module himself. Have you tried it out once more to see if it does the same to you?. How about RMA it. It should atleast be able to do 133 and perhaps it's not pc133 you got.

are you sure you didn't get the rams mixed up?

 

[Hankysmoo]

yes, i'm positive that i didnt get the rams mixed up. I will try his ram back in my computer and see what's up. I for a fact know that the ram NEVER worked at pc133 on my computer...
