I noticed on the set I had to return, the serial numbers were in
sequence.  One was right after the other.  I don't know if that makes
them a matched set or if they run some test to match them. 

From my understanding tho, each 'bank' or pair has to be a matched set. 
I did finally find a set of four but it is a different brand.  From what
I read to tho, ASUS trains itself each time you boot up.  It finds the
best setting for each set of memory.  It does say that it is usually set
to a slower speed tho when all four are installed.  Just have to wait
and see I guess.  Oh, when I boot the first couple times with new
memory, it takes quite a bit longer on the BIOS boot screen.  After a
couple times, it doesn't seem to take so long.  Not sure what, but it
does something. 

This new way sure is strange.
