computer crashes
I've been noticing some periodic crashes with my build (see below for specs). It reallly has not been too much of an issue but last night I decided to run memtest86+ version 4.1. After an hour of running, I got about 2700 errors. So I'm going to return the Gskill ram. However, in the meantime I was thinking of ordering either of these replacements:
Newegg.com - Crucial 2GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model CT25664BA1339 Newegg.com - Kingston ValueRAM 2GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model KVR1333D3N9/2G Just want to make sure that either of these will work with my system, or should I look into a different brand/model. I think I'll keep the Gskill replacement as a spare when I receive it. Thanks!

The G.skill has been very problematic. I'd advise you to eat the 15% restocking charge and get something else. The 2 you list are fine, BUT buy them in dual channel kits, not single modules.

Ok, thanks glc! What's unique about the kits vs. 2 single modules? This is what I think I am going to go with:
Newegg.com - Crucial 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model CT2KIT25664BA1339 |

The 2 modules in the kit are guaranteed to run together in dual channel mode. Good choice.

The G Skill brand sucks. I had major issues with it (on the qvl) in the same motherboard.
