SPD SDRAM. Does Corsair Grade A solve these problems? I don't know. It is still hard to figure out what the problem is. The industry doesn't seem to have standardized yet(most likely this is "the problem"). I don't think it is possible to get RAM that will extend very far into the future. RDRAM in 1999? If the compatibility issue is incorrect EPROM programming then one would think that the grade A tested RAM would solve the problem. I am trying to find out if the ABIT LX6 will work regardless of the EPROM. Since we are working with cutting edge or near cutting edge technology I believe it is prudent to have the RAM installed and tested on the motherboard before you take possession. This solves the immediate problem but does not address moving the RAM to a future board. This is why I am looking for RAM from a reputable manufacturer. again from the ESC site >>Corsair Microsystemshonors a lifetime warranty on their Grade A memory.<< esctechnologies.com >>All memory components go through a series of tests. Those components that pass these tests are Grade A components. They meet memory and motherboard manufacturer specifications. These Grade A components are the highest quality. Those that fail the first set of tests are categorized as Grade B, then tested again. If they fail tests in this category, they are passed on to another category. These lower quality components are frequently sold in the generic memory market. They may be of a variety of manufacturers.<< esc-ca.com Advantage and Micron memory is also available at the ESC site. I have heard Micron mentioned as "the best" and have also heard good reports on advantage memory. For the moment Corsair is my first best guess and I will spend time trying to bump it from the best guess position. I like to use something as a reference as it makes it easier to compare. One thing I will look for is users of the selected RAM in the selected motherboard. I do not want to be the first. Regards Zeuspaul
