Mark Brown writes "Tom's Hardware is live-testing DDR2 memory products in order to determine whether memory manufacturers submit cherry-picked products for reviews. 'GeIL DDR2-667 that was claimed to be purchased performed worse than the review samples they got: 471 MHz for the review samples vs. 421 MHz for the retail memory.'"

*EXCITEMENT*
"No way, there can't be anyone making dishonest or cheap mem... PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA"
ARTHUR: What?
BROTHER MAYNARD: "The PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA..."
BEDEVERE: What's that?
BROTHER MAYNARD: His computer must have crashed while typing it.
BEDEVERE: Oh, come on.
BROTHER MAYNARD: That's what it says.
ARTHUR: But if his computer was crashing, he wouldn't bother to type "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA". It would just crash.
BROTHER MAYNARD: It's down there typed on slashdot.
GALAHAD: Perhaps he was dictating.
ARTHUR: Shut up. Is that all it says?
BROTHER MAYNARD: That's all. "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA".
ARTHUR: "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA".
