So a while back I had 2 gigs of G.skill DDR 800 PC6400 HZs with my Asus P5N-E mobo. I installed em as regular as shown at the bottom of the screen shot on this page: Build a System: Page 3 ( put ram in slots 1 and 3 )
and thats when I kept getting the blue screens of death on Vista like no tomorrow. Some so bad it couldn't even POST. After switching the rams and putting them both in slots 1 and 2, everything worked fine. Someone told me the ram I had wasn't ECC or something and so it couldn't work in slots 1 and 3. However according to this page "To take full advantage of Dual Channel mode, you want to put a ram stick in each channel", so...am I missing something? Is the G.Skill HZ really incapable of doing this?
