To satisfy my curiosity: Are all ram sticks from the same manufacturer?Thanks guys for your input, I just pulled a stick of 4gb of memory and so far so good, everything seems to be a bit more responsive, Just played a game without a hictch!! Will keep testing though. I will test again with that 4gb I just pulled, just to be sure it is that stick of ram.
Thanks again guys
Yep, bought as a pair and still under warrantyTo satisfy my curiosity: Are all ram sticks from the same manufacturer?Thanks guys for your input, I just pulled a stick of 4gb of memory and so far so good, everything seems to be a bit more responsive, Just played a game without a hictch!!

Good. You might want to try taking a can of compressed air and blowing all dust off of the sticks and more important blowing all of the dust out of the sockets for the ram.
Good investment and could save you the joys of making an exchange.
Well its funny because I built my brother a PC round about the same time I built this one (all new parts by the way), albeit a bit under Spec than mine and his setup seemed to be faster than mine. So I'm guessing I've been plagued with this from the moment I built it, just never bothered investigating it!!
Everything is running smooth as silk at the moment, I have had memory go before and each seem to act a little differently, but its a quick and easy test. I guess I was lucky to pick the right stick in this case.
Thanks Guys
No problem Anthony!
Also grats on your 8000th post Karl, I thought I might say it while you were here. :)
