Can Memtest86 be wrong with the new Z68 chipset?

Thanks for the reply. Exactly my thoughts. I don't want to risk it and regret it in the future. I might RMA RAMs for now and I'll see from there. I'll avoid 1866 speeds for now. Thanks!

Can Memtest86 be wrong with the new Z68 chipset?

Windows' own memory diagnostics also gave an error :( However, I just found something interesting. When I plug a single memory module (only one DIMM) to the motherboard, memtest detects it as 6-6-6-20 no matter what. If I add another memory module (dual channel), that is when timings are...

Help in Aligning SSD, Vertex 2 (60gb) Raid 0, Dual boot Linux/Windows7

Hi all, I just purchased 2 Vertex 2 SSDs running Raid 0. I only have the Intel Raid (P55, ICH10R) to use these. I don't care much about TRIM as I reformat every 6 months and I will not fill the SDDs anyway. I also have a separate set of HDDs 1TB (also running Raid 0). When I built my RAID 0...

Wow, those are killer speeds. Thank you for your input and providing screenshots. Since 3 drives does really make things faster (from your experience), I think I'll really just go with the Sandfornce ones. I'll pass on the Intel ones. Thanks everyone for your help. It's been really really...

That is what I was actually thinking since writing on an SSD is likely to be that low %. Higher read speeds would be better. I found some non-official benchmarks of the new Microcenter G2 drives from a forum user: http://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=34255907&postcount=66 He...

How to enable TRIM in Raid mode - SSD not part of the RAID Array?

Hey thanks for the reply. Do you think that there would be a possibility in the future that will make TRIM or GC work in RAID 0 for the F40s or maybe Sandforce will release anything like that? Right now, are there no alternatives for trim/gc in sandforce raid-0 drives? Thanks

Thanks for the link. That looks like a very decent performance boost IMO (since im a ssd newbie), I just hope I understood it right. The reason I said that it might be useless is because of the TRIM being absent on a Raid setup. Since I'm an SSD infant, I just believe what people say that...
