Crucial is too large and capable to just get out of the 2g sdram. Im thinking that they will release some updated version under a different name or something. On the other hand, since it seems Sdram is on its way out with AMD going for ddram with their new cpu's that they really will just discontinue it. Ouch, I havent even fired mine up yet

Ouch, I havent even fired mine up yet SDR-SDRAM ((Single Data Rate) Synchoronous Dynamic Random Access Memory) was dumped ages ago. AMD will "soon" move from DDR1-SDRAM to DDR2-SDRAM (Double Data Rate-Synchoronous Dynamic Random Access Memory).

Its always like that at first.
They are stable for a month or two then crap out.
Mine are no longer 3d stable at anything above 240! I would RMA, but whats the point right now unless they are going to refund me the full purchase price that I paid ($390 when they came out)?
I should ask the crucial guy on dfi-street.

That's exactly why I just called newegg and got my HZ changed to a replacement.. right at the last minute too, they arrived a few hours after my call Now to sell these ballistix..

I say after 3 RMAs I should be entitled to a real solution. Such a waste of time and money to keep RMAing, sticks die, RMA, sticks die, etc...

I had two sets die....sold the third set I got back without even touching them. Smart move, eh?
I don't think that this is a temporary thing either guys...DDR is on its way out of the high-end market in the coming months and Micron probably doesn't want to spend the money appeasing a small part of the market that would be oh-so-cautious after TWO out of three high-end 2GB sets that aren't problem free (their own 5B -D and Infineon's CE die).
Rest assured, UCCC is getting better and NO ONE has had a problem yet.

I don't blame Micron either, they've got be gearing up for AMD's move to DDR2. AMD has got a large following and a lot of them are OC'ers so put the money in the future.
What companies are using UCCC right now?
