Ronald: When I built this box two years ago, I bought the RAM from Mushkin. At the time, they were highly recommended on various hardware sites, but I haven't heard about them for a while. I was very pleased with the whole transaction, but things change; sadly, not always for the better. BTW, check your date setting. -- cmg
