SpecTek is just another division of Micron and they have good memory. I would recommend researching what type of memory your system can handle to make sure they have what you need. The only issue I have seen from their memory is the fact all of their memory is high density, so if your system can handle higher density modules then run with it, they use high quality Micron components.

Well...I bought two sticks of Spectek memoery...2x256MB DDR400.....and just for the sake of testing them...cuz my power supply and case has not arrived yet...I went over to a friend who has a similar setup...
A canterwood gigabyte GA-8NXP board but he has KINGSTON VALUE RAM KIT instead....also 2x256

We took the 2 sticks of kingston out...and put the spectek in....

the rig posted properly...but when trying to get into windows it ALWAYS RESTARTS.....

So i ran MEMTEST68 off a bootable CD....it showed like a GAZILLION errors...

When i run each spectek stick ALONE...everything is fine..and MEMTEST68 finds no errors....even when i run BOTH sticks...but in channels 1&2...no errors..and boot up is ok....

THEY ONLY REFUSE TO RUN IN DUAL CHANNEL MODE??????

SHOULD I RETURN THEM??

I am sure there is something i am missing...since Spectek is a division of MICRON..i doubt the ram is shitty...just not overclockable....so what is wrong with DUAL CHANNEL??
