Impact of Memory on Stability

[confounded]

For the first time, I purchased "Premium Memory" in building my new system. This is also the most stable system I've ever built. Week 3 in the bag - no crashes (excluding my o-clocking experiments). Wouldn't it be cool if Anand performed a test for stability using Premium Memory vs. generic on top level boards without o-clocking? I'm beginning to think that memory has a much bigger impact on system stability than I ever imagined. I mean, I knew it was important for o-clocking, but what about everyday system performance? Whatdo you think?

Many people here have been preaching this for a long time. Memory is not the place to skimp. Memory is probably not the only reason your system si stable but one is inclined to think it helps.

You are so right HanPan.....
Memory is VERY important... Speclie when it comes to OC'n. Some memory can't do squat over Rates speeds....... And some can do Way more then what they are rated at. But the problem becomes a little more complicated when we start talking about the chips. Some are good. Some are bad. One stick from brand X could be better then another stick with the same specs. Kinda like CPU's and the OC'n ability they have. Some are better then others. But if I remember right..... Anand had already made a review on mem....... Actualy there is a couple of them...
memory or memory?
