Just a little warning to those who purchase corsair rams. I just bought 2 pieces of corsair DDR 2 1 gig rams. After using cpuid and siw programmes to analyze the rams i got to know that one of the in a 533!!! i took thing a step further by keying in the ram type code on the ram modules itself in google...yes..they are 533's. Just view my pictures that i have attached. key in the ram code 64m8cedg see the result. Take care...

wait a minute, are really sure that you are actually bought a DDR2 533 instead of DDR2 667 or, is it which i'm suspecting that, it's your fault...
* edit * saw the 1st pic... it's DDR2 667, i think mislabel, you can always changela... This post has been edited by sniper69: Jul 22 2007, 02:48 PM |

I think it is the problem from the supply side. Maybe mislabelling.
