(do you have a model number/specifications?) Very interesting Agent . Well, I'm only using one stick of RAM so I guess we're running half throttle . Unfortunately, I didn't write down the details before I posted it back to the retailer who has agreed to replace it given it came with a lifetime gaurentee . It was also advertised as being 100% compatible, so I guess the Manufactures were confident their product . We'll see how we go with the new stick so I'll let you all know . :thanks	B.M. (505)

Plugged it in and we had lift off . 1gig registered and everything working fine . :thumbs: Just one of those things I guess as the faulty RAM came in a sealed box so it was new . Anyway, this whole experience has raised another question . :) What is the best programme to test RAM like this with? Will the old Memtest386 v3 . 0 do the trick or do we need to get a little more up market? :confused:	B.M. (505)
