I tried that but it didn't help the Memtest problems. Is the "normal"
setting (or whatever it's called in the bios) 2.5v for DIMM voltage? My
email from Gigabyte says that 2.6v modules are not compatible with this
mobo, even though Kingston and Mwave both show them as being correct.

I am running Kingston KVR400X64C3A/512's in two matched sets (2gb total)
and
the computer is very stable. However, see my recent post "More on 8KNXP
and
RAM compatibility" where I describe a problem running Memtest86 v3 and
an
email from Gigabyte about 2.6v modules being incompatible with the
8KNXP.
These Kingston modules and apparently all Kingston PC3200's are 2.6v,
but
although Gigabyte specs show that only 2.5v modules should be used both
Kingston and my vendor (Mwave.com) show these modules as compatible with
the
mobo. Mwave even combines them in their motherboard bundle options.

I'm confused, and although my system is very stable I worry about any
future
problems that may occur from this.

I'm thinking of making the leap again... Last time with the
GA-8IHXP
and
it
had memory issues... Now I'm looking at the 8KNXP and it appears to
have
issues as well... I read the Kingston 3500 is the way to go and
that
Corsair is not... Is that correct??? What other brands should be
considered?
