If the RAM wasn't working to spec it's likely that you were a victim of SPD reprogramming yourself. Are you sure it wasn't the same fastmemoryman eBay seller?


No it wasn't the same seller. It was ram-upgrades http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=ram-upgrades&ftab=AllFeedback&myworld=true

It looks like your motherboard *was* compatible with high-density RAM, so that was not the issue, and you are the one being dense.


What do you mean? The RAM should've worked as soon as I put it in whether it was at 100fsb or 133fsb it shouldn't of made a difference. If the SPD data was incorrect and that was the problem then how was I to know / what was I to do. Set the timings manually? I don't think I was being dense by buying high density ram that was supposed to be compatible with my KT600 chipset and expecting it to work without messing with anything in the BIOS.



What I meant was that I think it is wrong for you to be telling people that they should stay away from high-density RAM, because of your experience.
