There's been loads of reports of 2GB Ballistix kits failing so I wouldn't get them if I were you. Apparently you get four 512MB sticks back if you RMA them, which makes them terrible for overclocking and running at 1T.

Thats exactly what i was using.
Had major problems, wasnt sure whether it was the mobo (common 1T problems all over the net)or the RAM (lots of reported RAM failures from others) at fault.

Got my 2gb OCZ PC3200 platinums yesterday.
I highly recommend you get those, considering how they actually work with that mobo (unless i'm just lucky), and at 1T to boot! :eek:

well ive got the ballistix already so thats not an option of getting another set of ram.

Then erm.. why do you need clarification? The best clarification would be to stick it in your mobo, right?

So do they work as they're meant to?
I couldnt get mine to run at 2.8V.

As far as I know theres no way to get them to work, I have seen 101 posts about compatibility problems with those two parts and if Crucial and Abit say no, then one of those things is going to have to be changed im afraid.
