    well, they are pretty high, i wonder if you give ur ram some more voltage, you might be able to run at better timings.

    jwersan,

    Can you look at the actual memory modules, the chips and see what brand they say it is on them? A little MT stands for Micron Technology which is a part of Crucial memory.

    They ARE a match pair of 512 Meg Kingston memory.

    I understand that, but Kingston have never created their own chips. They rebrand just like Corsair, OCZ etc. The new Micron is supposed to be the new champs in the memory division. Do you have heatspreader on yours? If not, you can easily see the chips on them.

    I pulled the chips again, no MT. Anything else I should be looking for??? :loco:
