ASUS A7N8X Deluxe and suggested RAM?

[111393]

Is anyone using an ASUS A78NX Deluxe motherboard? If so, what brand of RAM are you using? Anyone using Crucial? Did your PC pass the Prime95 torture test?

I suspect my RAM memory behind my failures to pass the torture test.
I am using Crucial memory which I tested for problems with Memtest86 for 7 hours. No problems reported. Yet, I sometimes get a "System failed memory test" voice when I boot up my system. It is not everytime however - Yes, I did check to make sure everything was seated tightly.

I have racked my brain and well as tried everything some of you have kindly suggested, but to no avail (See my previous post "Newbie needs help" for the checks I've done).

Anyway, I couldn't find any brand recommendations for PC2700 RAM on the ASUS website, so I am turning to some of you. My PCU is a AMD 2600+ Barton 1.9GHz 333FSB.

THank you for any recommendations.

I also use a A7N8X Deluxe Motherboard. I'm running a mildly overclocked 2500 Barton with 2 sticks of 512 MB Kingston HyperX PC2700 set up in a dual channel configuration.

About one in twenty bootups, I also get the "System failed memory test" voice. Whenever I get this, I immediately reboot the computer, and always get "System completed power on self test" (the good voice).

My PC passes the Prime95 torture test and has 20+ confirmed good results, so it doesnt seem to be a problem. I would suggest running some double checks, if you get good results I wouldn't worry about it.
