Bad RAM

Ok

Buying the cheapest DDR2-800 memory available (corsair CM2X2048-6400C5) was a BAD idea. I will concider this a lesson and keep to Kingston (who never failed me) or Crucial (which I only hear the same about) in the future.

It seems the 8 GB of RAM I bought for the new machine has at least one bad bit. All things considered one bit out of 68719476736 (8*1024^3*8) is a pretty good percentage, although in this case simply not good enough.

If Denon tries this then what trust can you have in their other stuff. Clearly they don't care if what their marketing claim is clearly bullocks, as long as it can make people not knowing better pay a fortune for nothing.

"Denon's $499 Ethernet cable 'brings out all the nuances in digital audio reproduction.' Sure, that seems plausible. After all, nuances in digital signals are so subtle. Oh, and 'signal directional markings are provided for optimum signal transfer.'"

Clearly I will not ever go for a Denon product now.
