Very odd but RMA them just to be safe, if theres nothing wrong with them all u lost out on was shipping and i think it was around £6 mark to The Netherlands.

Well I have another 2GB (that's definitely got loads of errors) and it's packed in some anti static bag with a thick layer of bubble wrap round it like OCZ told me to do. I have packed it in the jiffy that which is this:



Will OCZ accept the RAM in that or will I need it in a small box?

In the meantime I'm stuck with 2GB which Vista uses about 800-1GB memory idle. I'll post back results when I receive them back yup.
