I've had two Asus mobos over the past 3 years and both were horrible with respect to memory.

If you try a Google on Asus mobos, you'll this same post over and over and over....4 sticks of RAM = crash after crash, but if you take one or two of them out, the system goes stable. My opinion is that Asus needs to stop putting 4 memory slots on their mobos. I currently use a Striker Extreme and I'm running 2GB with 32-bit Vista HP. So far, no fix for this and I'm not holding my breath...although I must admit that Asus finally got Hibernate working correctly with the 1603 BIOS update.....That only took like a year and a half. :cursing:
