Default Re: OEM Q6600 from Newegg

if you currently have XMS2 do you plan to replace them or simply add on?

What the he11 are you going on about? The Crucial Memory with the Newegg Logo were special edition kits for the Huge Lan party that Newegg put on late last year. I was able to attend and won 2 contests Crucial put on and got my hands on 4x1gb's of them.

They were also a limited run and are not available anymore.

In all respects they are Tracers without the top led's and blue ones on the bottom instead of standard white.

I think its just the 2gb Kit, I think its resolved if you get like those Patriot Extreme, Team xTreeme 2gb Kit, or if you get the 4gb Ballistix kit
