Just an update to this thread.. i started a fresh install of vista.. found yet more stable, or so i thought, settings for 1333 (i did try everything for 1600, it just isnt happening with this ram)..

I got things installed while set to IDE/enhanced.. then realized, i should have enabled raid, as ill need it later on.. so i did this and a mess came along.. couldnt get the raid bios to show up, when i did, vista didnt want to install to the partitions. (for more info on this, see separate thread),

Ill update this thread with new info if i can get past my current issue with the raid..

I'm probably going to order different DDR3 today, most likely 1333.. i can see no reason to buy the 1600mhz again, but i will try corsair.. i figure i can try over clocking 1333 to 1600, instead of running native 1600 on a 1333 board. This will rule the ram out.
