When I first installed the Tracer RAM I noticed the LED's on one strip seemed lazy compared to the others, it was originally installed DDR2_2 so I moved it to DDR2_1 to see if it was the socket or the RAM, it is the RAM as it is still lazy regardless what socket I try it in. I also noticed it was much hotter than the other sticks.
I have chatted to Crucial about this and they said they will replace it as they should all behave in a similar pattern which confirms what I thought.

When I was using my 2.2 volt PC2-6400 Ballistix Tracers (2x1GB), each one marched to a different drummer but their activity rate was similar. Temperatures were similar; verified by my infrared laser temp probe. My downdraft cpu heatsink probably helped.
The
temperature probe cost $25 from Harbor Freight.
This one might be a
better buy for only $5 more.
