11 Well, it is not the worst advise he could give you.

13 If you plan to use "dual channel" you should use two identical sticks.
14 However, for sticks that are not connected to each other with dual channel
15 there is no need for this. For example you could have two sticks called "abc"
16 in dual channel and two sticks called "def" in dual channel.
17 But keep in mind that all sticks will use the same speed setting.

19 And yes, Peter's problem definitly sounds like a RAM issue of some kind.
