    All great except I had to change my last Crucial memory after 13 months and one stick again after a further 6 months. Glad I had that lifetime warranty...

    FWIW, I've had 3.7GB showing on Windows 2000 with 4GB of RAM
    Its the address spaces for the cards and devices that use up the memory space. You cant have the same memory addresses pointing to 2 different things.

    Ok here something intresting to throw into the mix
    (granted they are looking at the pc8500 not the pc5400)

    What we can tell, is what we told before - these aren't just any sticks - each chip onboard of these modules comes from a big, hearty batch of UTT chips sent out at a discount by Micron to Corsair.
    Source
    Thoes Micron chips are starting to look better

    EDIT: another thing to note is that this corsair memory is not the dominator, xpert or even Pro vertion but the "Classic" and bottom of the XMS2 series, but still for £57 what do you expect and it still does have that lifetime garranty
