Default Sweet....My Crucial Ballistix died....
Just thought I'd go on a rant here... I rmaed my Crucial Ballistix about a week and and a half ago. I received 2 BNIB sticks of Crucial Ballistix 1gb sticks.

After only about 3 days, guess what happened....

THEY DIE! Just great. I really can't believe it. Pretty annoying after getting new ram fresh from RMA, it dies too.

LOL thats awesome. My original single sided sticks lasted about 5 months. Then they died so RMA. Now these new single sided sticks last a whole 3-4 days before fudging up. WooHoo....
