AMD CPUs don't even use tri-channel RAM. Memory should be installed in groups of 2 or 4.

QVL lists are BS. All those lists mean is that a memory company paid AMD to be on the list. The same is true for Intel's QVL list.

Buy a 2x2GB kit of PC3-1600, and it should work fine.

Everyone note: Dual vs. tri-channel RAM is pretty much irrelevant, because nothing that can be done on a system can even touch the bandwidth offered by these memory technologies using DDR3.

Out of the 3 listed above (page 1) wich one would you go for? I'we had Kingston before and I don't have annything bad to say, but I'm hearing good things about both OCZ and G.SKILL so I dont know wich to choose...

The drunks game list on here are all games that I have tested on both 64bit and 32bit with W7. please state the mobo and processor you are trying to use along with what games you have tried and hwo did you install them.. you are having a hardware issue not a os issue the blue screen is ram either your ram sticks or your vidcard.


I take your word but some people are trying to run games that even xp could barley run with out a hitch. I do know some games also have patches out to make them W7 capabille. try reachering the games forums in order to see what patches are aviable as a alternitive download. and some games liek 50k slots and knock off flash games like that might not work I wouldnt knwo for I havent tried them on my machines. I play a lot of main stream games. diablo wow bf series cod series cs css etc and havent had no problems plus I play and beta test a lot of MMO free to play and pay to play so far i have ran in to about 3 games out of about 50 I have tried with out no problems.



Please list your hardware and version fo the hardware and I will try to get to the bottem of this..... W7 for me has beene a dream of os for me out of the windows line.
