Well, I just received my replacement ram from OCZ; they gave me a free upgrade to the PC4000VX too.

well what I am just saying that never heard of any probs with corsair or crucial ram, arent OCZ supposed to be good? I just bought 2 sticks of ultra performance OCZ ram lol hope i dont get any problems.
I've had bad sticks of ram from both Crucial and Corsair too and they've both been great to deal with for RMA'ing too. Of the three though, Crucial was definitely the fastest on replacing the ram. They cross-shipped next day air and they also payed the shipping charges to ship the defective ram back. But I'm not going to knock either Corsair or OCZ either for their support, which is superb.
Thanks for all the help, Mack!

It is really appreciated.
