I could not get a Crucial 4GB DDR2 800 Dual-Channel pair to work in my Asus
board (would not even POST), but an OCZ 4GB DDR2 800 Dual-channel pair
worked perfectly.

The same Crucial 4GB DDR2 set would not work in a 2nd Asus motherboard, but
4x1GB DDR2 sticks did...

So now I've got a Crucial 4GB DDR2 800 set that won't work in my current
systems... Hopefully it will work in the next box I build...

YMMV, but based on that experience, I think I'll stick with OCZ in the
future. ;-)
