The said:Definitely the cheaper ValueRAM I started on them simply because at
that time, they were the only ones cheap yet with lifetime warranty
and a local policy of no hassle one to one exchange. Since I've very
little problems with them, I've continued using/recommending them. But
bear in mind I come into contact with, including those for friends,
only a small number of Kingston modules over the years.
In comparison, my friend who tried the PNY does something in the order
of hundreds of computers in a year. I asked him after my first post on
this issue and he claims that he has used close to 2000 DIMMs in the
past year including PNY, Patriot (their cheap PDP modules), Twinmos and
Kingston. Kingston has given him the least grief, PDP and Twinmos
while not perfect has been generally ok while nothing quite bit him
like PNY did. Personally I must add that it could just be his luck
with a bad batch.
Take a look at Thaiphoon, an SPD viewer/editor:

I've gotten many DIMMs to work reliably by simply using it to reprogram
the tC setting from 1T to 2T, a setting not alterable with every BIOS..
