Kingston should work fine. I been using them for years, one build was built back in 2003 and it still runs, although slowly by todays standards. ;-) I have also used Kingston in other people's rigs for upgrades and they are working fine too. I think memory is like hard drives, one or two people have something go wrong and they have to be all bad for everyone. It's one reason I hate asking a hard drive question. Someone always chimes up that they had one fail many years ago so it just has to be bad. lol Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
