yes im running XP SP2, and by the way if you have a link to the over 3GB XP issues, id appreciate it.
but here is the bottom line (or whatever you might want to call it):
i have corsair memory with specs : DDD2 800MHz 4-4-4-12-2T (2x TWIN2X2048-6400C4D, PC2-6400 CAS4, XMS2 , NVIDIA SLI READY, Republic of Gamers Certified!, and by the way the striker is a RoG motherboard (actualy the second and last upto now)).
i have only been able to get a stable system with 500 MHZ at 5-5-5-18-2T,
and that is running memtest WHICH runs in DOS (ie no XP involved in the tests).
now, i dont know if you consider 500MHz 5-5-5-18-2T suficiently good to what i should be able to obtain (667 MHz using 4 DIMS) but it appears to me and to all reports i have seen and read that if each individual memory is OK, yet i can only obtain a stable system with DDR2 800MHz 4-4-4-12-2T if i put my system running at 500MHz at 5-5-5-18-2T that there is something very wrong.
and my voice is not alone.
but i appreciate your feedback and would like to hear from you again.
