This ram works great if you take the time to set up your motherboard properly.
Asus Commando
Intel E8400 CPU
F2 8500 CL5 Ram 2 x 1GB
Leadtek 8500GT video card
Enermax 800watt Liberty
Coolermaster Stacker case
Main hard drive 74 GB Raptor
Data drives: WD 640GB, WD 500GB, WD 320 GB
Since this board allows different CPU multiplier settings I set this to 6, the lowest setting.
Then adjusted the FSB until the BIOS settings for ram showed 1065.
CPU 533.1 X 6 = 3198.6
FSB 2132.4
Running the ram at 5 5 5 15.
Everything else is set to auto.
This motherboard does not like all 4 ram slots filled and works best in dual channel mode.
Hope this helps some of you to set up your systems properly.
Stay tuned as I plan on buying a P5Q and using the same CPU and 4GB of this ram for a backup system.
