His post suggests it DOES post so when he removes a stick to test the ones that remain it will help. If he cant find his ram timings in the BIOS he is
probably more comfortable changing settings from windows.

I was under the impression that such software is reliable you just need to have a supported chipset/ppl. As a matter of fact I think its (Clock Gen) the ONLY way to raise your fsb without changing the FSB strap which can cause over clock limitations. But over clocking is not the issue.

7 also has a ram stability test (pre boot) built into it which I have used and has found problems for me with ram.
