I just got through saying that I've experienced it. You evidently don't know that at every electrical termination, oxidation can occur. While I haven't experienced this since my DDR1 system, I stand by my statement that I have had to reinsert RAM to get my system to POST several times on two different motherboards. I resent you claiming that what I say is a crock, it is very ill mannered of you, and wrong. -- Join Teams Helix and Discovery.
