I had a 4400 dual then a 3800 and another 3800.

Now i have a 3700 but only cos it does 3.5ghz under the mach :)

Didnt need the power of the 3.1ghz dual core if im honest

Hi there Joe, innitially it was strange one morning i switched my comp on did the usual, turned it off came back to it in the afternoon and it's wudn't even power on, i checked everything. Took the comp to my friends did the same, i changed ram to single channel and it booted fine! i thought it was the mobo at first so bought a new board and had the same result, went back to my friends and tried his cpu in my board and booted fine in dual channel memory, tried my cpu in his and wudn't boot in dual channel! So got 2 new cpu's now both of which work fine in dual channel.
Thanks for that.
Got a machine here failing memtest, but the ram tests ok in another machine, and some other ram that passes memtest fails in this machine.
Can't get it to pass memtest no matter what i do.
Then i started getting bsods and random lockups.
I'm trying to decide if i should send the board back or the cpu, seeing as the cpu is a poor clocker anyway i might try and get that replaced first!
