Memory is being maxed out... (server mobo).

Server parts aren't inherently more stable than desktop parts, fyi.

I don't think that's what he was insinuating.

Yeah no I meant the general motivation for such a market (sever components vs. the general market) but either way; I've learned my lesson that not every bios is equal (I always assumed most had ram "tweaking" options).

That is not to say I will not be getting another two sticks should they drop further in price (however stupid that may sound lol!).

Not stupid at all if you are maxing out your RAM.

Yeah it's a temptation I'm going to have to resist (for now). I honestly almost purchased 4 sticks with this one order but realized I was getting sucked in, before it was too late.

UPDATE:

Hey guys just thought I'd let you know I put the ram in an older build with an Intel i760 cpu (an i5 LGA 1156 cpu) and an Asus P7P55D-E Pro mobo that has XMP capability just to confirm that the ram is capable of what it can do under XMP (for anyone interested).

Edit: So yeah, it had no trouble holding XMP even on the older build so I'd highly recommend this brand (like I said never tried their RAM before). Noticed a few second difference in boot speed as well over the older 1600MHz RAM.

These are the numbers:

I never doubted the ram.
I knew it was board related.

Likewise. I only posted the above information for anyone in need of it. Contributions to the forum.
