faulty ram

[Burtoner]

I just upgraded my machine to windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, everything works great but about 9 months ago I had a faulty stick of RAM, I got 4 x 1gig Geil PC2-6400 which I brought from overclockers.

So far I have 3 x 1 gigs of them installed and its working great, but that wouldnt get me dual channel or anything?

Looks like OcUK dont stock much DDR2 anymore and its isnt cheap. I have found some on ebay of exactly same make and model and looks exactly the same very cheap..

Suggestions??

You should be able to RMA the faulty RAM through Geil so drop them a mail and see. They will want to replace one complete kit however (probably 2 x 1GB sticks?) as opposed to just the stick which has failed. Your board has gone back to single channel mode in the meantime given you have removed a stick of RAM.
