Yeah, I've had problems with RAM before and it's basically always the LAST thing I would think. The only thing making be believe it's not the RAM this time is cause when I put it back to how I originally had it, with my Radeon 8500 in it, my original 256 meg of RAM--it would still act retarted.

Now, this will piss me off if the problem continues on a new motherboard--however I doubt it will. Besides, my new mobo will have ATA/133 support for my D740x :) Doubt it'll be a big increase over my ATA/100 RAID-0 array, but what the hey.

I'm now having withdrawsl of BF1942 ;) I need to check out my new RAM on it--see how much quicker loading times are!

I'm 99% sure the RAM is fine. I've already ordered the motherboard (should be here by wednesday/thursday so unless I'm having problems then I won't need to try it in your machine.

I also ordered a green cold cathode for my PC :) And yesterday (sunday) I finished all cutting on the top. I ordered some window molding (using smoked plexi which I already have) and I'm going to get an "iron cross" fan guard (still gotta buy) for the 92mm fan on top:

Should be pretty sweet :)
