Recieved Buffalo tech from Newegg...

[vairox]

appears to be a used module, the label has a little sort of dirt smudge on it, and the contacts appear to have been in contact with a metal surface...has that look, maybe its from testing who knows, but if it was use i think it should be cheaper, no? anyways its a 512 meg stick of pc3700 and its BH5....which i thought was discontinued and out of stock long ago which also adds to the "used" scenario, anyhow it appears to work fine and now im running in dual channel at 200mhz fsb at 6-2-2-2 timings, not sure if they'll hold... what are some good memory stress programs? i cant use 3dmark 2001 cause im running a geforce2mx400 for now until later today when i recieve my rma from msi. i ran sandra memory benchmark and got 2870/2699...seems kinda low...what do u guys think? says bandwidth efficiency is 90%, it used to say 86%...woooo 4% increase!

edit to add: wow, it crashed...internet explorer took a dump and event viewer says

Faulting application iexplore.exe, version 6.0.2800.1106, faulting module flash.ocx, version 6.0.79.0, fault address 0x00023007.

might have to turn dual channel off, or rma this ram

edit to add x2: moved the ram from the dual channel slot into the slot to where it isnt supposed to run in dual channel and it still comes up as dual channel, and theres nowhere in bios to turn it off... w t f? also turned memory timings to 7-3-3-2, this ram appears to...SUCK
