Honestly, when I first got my SD I installed Windows XP x64 Evaluation version and later had to give up because of too much of a hassle. Not even a mouse driver for my Logitech MX500 was available.

Groovy,

Did you have to burnin the ram? If so how did you do it? Thanks.

[groovetek]

I've only burned in twice at the moment, one 10 hour block, the other a 5 hour block. Not as crazy as the 48 hour blocks that some people use to burn in = hence indicating my RAM may be capable of more if I subject it to such burnin situations.

Grab yourself a copy of memtest 1.60 ISO, burn it to CD, chuck it in your CDrom drive. Make sure you have sufficient airflow on your RAM to keep it reasonably cool. Restart your computer, go into BIOS, set your voltage to 3.2 to 3.3volts, set to boot from CD...

when the computer restarts it will boot into memtest on the CD, press c,1,3,5,enter,0 in that sequence (basically the procedure for selecting test #5 to test - maximum heat generation using this test), and let it run for however long you desire - the longer the better.

So far your claims of this stuff being better than vx are unjustified form what i can see....
261 #5/#8 stable at 3.4V supertight on vx for me....
