I'm on my Vista machine now and it seems to be working . I set the
DDR to 667MHz rather than auto. It looks like the memory doesn't work
at its rated spec (800MHz). It's really annoying because I paid quite
a bit extra for 800Mhz, and even more for Corsair. It's not really
worth the hassle and cost of getting a replacement. So I'll probably
just stick with it at 667MHz

I'm hoping that it won't suddenly die completely. The motherboard
temperature monitor seems to be useless though. At the moment the CPU
is at 12C, but the room must be at least 18C. It's a pretty rubbish
computer really. I'm already starting to hate Vista too. I'll
probably end up using my faster Windows XP machine, which is less than
half as powerful.
