I don't know why I started using these particular memories. Probably a sale somewhere and decent reviews of the brand. Anyways, I'm running them in a variety of desktops and servers with no heartbreak. No failures to date, no drama, and the computers are doing their jobs well. These are great memories for their price. Actually, I'm kind of curious to see how well they stand up in the servers where they'll be running fairly hot. A couple years good service and G.Skill will find its way into my higher end machines.
