I'll make this short.

PC: Has computer parts.
Issue: Boot up is lagged, black screen after mobo screen, integrated nic fails.
Issue2: Figured it was ram, bought new ram, install ram, left "damaged" ram in, boot, it boots with about 2 seconds of black screen instead of 5 mins.
Issue3: Remove Ram "Damaged" doesn't boot at all, no-post beeps, nothing, dead. HDD spins, all the lights say "ON" but video card not sending any signal to the Monitor - Tried two diffrent monitors. No post beeps.
Issue4: Put "Damaged" ram back in, boots up as per-normal.
Issue5: WTF?

>>7 lol dell, witty, other than this buying a custom system. You don't even know what ram pinset is for christs sake.
Nice grammar; excellent punctuation.  You're the one who brought up pinset, which isn't even an "issue", seeing as how a DDR2 will not fit into a DDR memory slot and vice-versa. Like >>4 said, it's the brand/speed/latency that will create "issues".  Did you even bother to check what MSI recommends?

And >>6 is right about missing integrated hardware.  If you can't accept a device is dead and disable/replace it, don't bitch about it here.  PCI NICs are dirt cheap so cost isn't even an "issue", and neither should this.

Oh, and if you're wondering why I've placed quotes around a certain word, it's to emphasize its proper usage; unlike in your original post, where the reader would normally expect to see step1, step2, step3.
