Speaking of fried RAM, exactly how do you tell if a stick of ram *has* fried?? I had a new stick from Circuit city (centon brand) that literally shorted out and BURNT UP inside my Duron!! Glad I had the case off!! I *never* seen so much smoke come outta such a tiny thing!!!! Seems on the wires inside the ram module shorted out.....stick sent back to centon....lets see if they give me another. Now, thats not even OCed!!

Have some cheap ram in there at 109fsb and its stable. Go figure....

Oh yeah, while were talking about Ram....if you have Sandra you can go under the Mainboard module and see *exactly* what the design specs of your RAM modules are!! I have one 'cheap stik' that shows its OC able to 125mhz and another supports CAS2 at 100. Neat little option if you look close enough.
