[QUOTE="tracerbullet, post: 55178, member: 770"] Update.. Well, I've temporarily traded modules with a friend who's using an nforce2 chipset. I've given him my 512MB x2 Corsair sticks in return for his 512MB x2 transcend sticks. These work fine on my system and mine work fine on his system. All is good. But the plot thickens. It [B]definitely [/B]isn't a chipset incompatibility as much as I think it's an ASUS/manufacturer incompatibility. Let me explain. I've tested the sticks on two other s939 motherboards. Both were Asus A8N-E models and both had Winchesters running. And I experienced the same problem. The modules in dual-channel will [B]not [/B]run at anything higher than DDR200. When I tried using A64 tweaker from within Windows and forced the memory to run at 400MHz, the system froze. I know that the memory works just fine on nforce2 chipsets as it's running perfectly in my friend's machine. What I need to do is test the sticks in an MSI or DFI (or any other) s939 motherboard and see if the problem persists. Anyone living in Mumbai and owning a non-Asus socket 939 board put your hands up. I'd like to test my memory in that rig, if that's fine by you :) [/QUOTE]
