I'll admit I'm not an expert on hardware, can you point out what's wrong with the configuration (3 double-sided 400MHz modules)? BTW, the Corsairs are 2.5-3-3-6. Oh, and DDR400 modules are (or were two months ago, not sure about the situation ATM) cheaper than DDR33 ones. -- FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE 9:29AM up 2 mins, 2 users, load averages: 0.10, 0.06, 0.02
