Thanks for the suggestions..but I need to mention that I have an average good performance on sticks :), also my equipment has a general fantastic tolerance to failures (on the hardware manufacturing side, I was extraordinary happy about my old 16gb ADATA sticks, very well made, intead my actual 32gb sticks have a little tendency to heat up a little in front of the average lower material quality that I believe has hit the whole market nick). However in front of my rare failure happening I permitted myself to post in misc@ about it, and here I am ;)
