Corsair TWIN2X4096-8500C5D 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 1066MHz/PC2-8500 Dominator Memory Kit Or Corsair Dominator GT 4GB 1066MHz C5 DDR2 with Airflow Fan?

For only around 30 bucks more, I'd choose the C5 Dominator GTs. And you never responded as to what the results were, after following my last suggestions in the "won't post" thread you started in the Hardware forum...

With only one stick of RAM installed, change the NB Core voltage from AUTO to 1.25V. Change the four primary RAM timings (tCL, tRCD, tRP, tRAS) to 5-5-5-15, and set 1T/2T Memory Timing to 2T. Also check to make sure the Memory Clock Frequency is set to DDR2-800. Save and exit the BIOS, then shut down and install the 2nd stick of RAM in the 1st black DIMM slot.
