Well...that's why I said "if your willing to pay." I had to pay a test fee and that was probably 10 years ago... <has it been that long?>. It's still cheaper than buying a new processor needlessly.<br>
<br>Otherwise you can find a friend with extra ram to try again on a different mainboard. also, make sure you just test with one stick of ram (if you have multiple), and if it doesn't work with one, try the other. But you probably knew that.... I'd offer some ram, but I don't have any spare DDR2. If by chance you're using DDR...I may have a 128 stick lying around somewhere.<br>

Just be warned, DIT will charge you a bench fee. They used to do it for free (you know, keeping the customers happy). About 2 and a half years ago I had them test a processor. The guy never told me there would be a fee before testing the processor. When I didn't want to buy a new processor, he tried to charge me a fee. After a bit of arguing, I didn't get charged the fee. I haven't been back since. Great customer service huh? If he had tested the processor without an issue, I might still be buying stuff from them.<div>

</div>That makes sense. I may check that out.<br>
