How are you defining stability? Also, are you assuming it's your ram that is not stable?
Honestly it sounds like your MOBO just doesnt wanna do 1066 any more.

Well, before I installed the new modules my machine never hung on me at all, when every I change something in the Bios, the machine would reboot, now there are some issues now and again. Memtest86 has past all tests, but in windows Vista x64, it crashes now and again.

The thing is I cant get them working as 1066 even at unlinked in the bios, I set it to CL5 settings at 1066, and have tried most voltage up to 2.34v, still no booting, just hangs on DET DRAM

I have tried to set it to 55 - 56 - 57 - 58 - 60, still no action.
I have put my old modules in and all is perfect, I can overclock them to 1020Mhz, no problem, on CL5, no extra voltage, I leave it on auto, which turns out to be 2.0v, and the machine reboots great.
I have now tried OCZ, Corsair, Kingston and New A-Data's, all give me a negative preformace increase from my old modules.
its almost like I need to by a new MOBO
So, what do you all think?

I am using 8Gb, my goal was to keep 8Gb, I have now 32Gb's of memory laying around, I will be RAM'ing them all, my system voltages are:
CPU 1.43v
NB 1.50v
SB 1.60v
MEM 2.10v
and the rest I cant remember
but thats the just of it all

so would you suggest I only use 4Gb, because I can see quite a change in performance in Vista with 4Gb vs 8Gb.

Yeah, use 4GB or get a board that is known to work well with 4x2GB. And I highly doubt you notice 8GB over 4GB unless you are really doing some intensive video editing and that sort of stuff.
