will OCUK take them back or do i have to RMA them back to crucial? See above

whats the chances of me getting my money back or will have have to take replacments? Standard is replacements, if you want money you need to ask

if i got my money back some how what ram should i buy? Good question, I don't know myself, I was kinda interested in OCZ but it all depends on what you want to spend and if you want tight timings at low speed or high speed with slacker timings

Crucial have stopped making 2gb kits due to problems with them. Think they now give out 4x 512mb which is rubbish so your best of getting ocuk to swap them for a different brand such as ocz or corsair. Contact crucial as well and check - they have great customer support and may have some 2gb kits kicking about in the factory still.

Yep, sounds like the memory is going, my old set started to error and later on one stick was dead.
