Upgraded Xeon = WEIRD problems!

I ran 4 sticks of Corsair PC3200 in my PC-DL without any issues. But I did do the conductive grease VDIMM mod that brings the VDIMM to about 2.6V.

I'm just not comfortable doing the whole vdimm mod, and unfortunately I don't know any one that is.

Conductive grease VDIMM mod sounds easy enough, how do I do that? That might just be enough if I run the Gskill slightly looser.

Oh it's this correct? Pin 2 to pin 3.

Yep, that's a photo of my PC-DL with the conductive grease and Pomona SMD Grabber mods. I removed the Pomona SMD Grabber since I don't need all that voltage with the Corsair Value DDR.
