Hm, your experience with Kingston seems different than mine; I've had nothing but problems with other brands _but_ Kingston and I've been using them for years in various computers/motherboards. All three current motherboards run Kingston stable (two of them since quite a few years now, one is the Gigabyte M57SLI-S4 motherboard which have an extra flashrom soldered onto the motherboard for easy switching between proprietary firmware[a.k.a. BIOS] and coreboot). And here's a couple of pc's (not mine) running coreboot (which relies on the SPD rom information in order to set up the memory): http://www.coreboot.org/HP_DL145_G3 http://www.coreboot.org/ASUS_M4A78-EM I'm sure you can dig up some dirt on Kingston but I'm quite confident that you can dig up the same on other brands as well... but again, I've had no problems with Kingston so I'm sticking to them. Although, I perhaps should mention I don't do any overclocking of any kind since I value stability over all... Best regards / MfG Peter K
