Let me throw one back: if I can avoid it, I *really* don't want Hynix. We
had DIMM problems about two years ago in high-end servers... one from
Dell, one from Penguin, and one from Sun, and ALL THREE had, um, I think
they were 8G Hynix. Had it been one server OEM, I'd figure they'd gotten a
bad batch; with three different OEMs, I figure Hynix was having q/a/q/c
problems.
I'm looking at something called "Ballistix Sport 8GB DDR3-1333 (PC3-10600)
CL9 Dual Channel". Was this the type that you had problems with, John?
So far, it looks like Crucial, with the most votes, and the price is
reasonable (though I would have liked ECC, I don't want to pay another
$30.)
Thanks to all who responded.
