Allow me to begin with saying that Tom's Hardware has been a great enjoyment to me since I begain building my own computers some years ago and has been entirely invaluable to me.
This post is to let you be aware that my Crucial Ballistix 512mb DDR 400 2-2-2-6 memory modules are incompatible with my Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard. I do not believe the modules are defective, I believe that my motherboard does not know how to work with them properly and memory related hardware errors occur which I could not resolve until I replaced my shining new Ballistix modules with my standard Crucial 512mb DDR 333 module. I am anxiously awaiting delivery of a second standard module which will, god willing, extend the life of my beloved A7N8X Deluxe / Athlon XP 3200+ system for another year.
I spent much work and endured many headaches to bring you this (perhaps already known) information.
Do not allow it to fall into the wrong hands
