835014 2009-11-30 07:56:00 Corsair
Kingston
Patriot G
Super Talent

I know the first two brands well, but if the specs are the same between any of these, is it worth saving a few dollars to go with which ever is cheapest?

835015 2009-11-30 07:59:00 I always use Corsair or Kingston -- Sometimes saving a dollar or two now, you end up paying for it later. wainuitech (129)

835017 2009-11-30 08:39:00 Is Patriot Viper any good? Annanz (3044)
835018 2009-12-01 01:19:00 I always thought that pretty much any RAM is OK, as long as you don't overclock it

But if you're going to overclock you should get something good

835019 2009-12-01 01:27:00 Kingston is what I currently have installed in my system. convair (13650)
835020 2009-12-01 01:37:00 Supertalent is better than you might think, my old pc had 4gig of ddr800 in it and it posted at 1300mhz which isnt a bad oc cheap ram.

But best bet is to stick with Corsair G.Skill and kingstons

1.3GHz DDR2??!?!?

Might have failed RAM test though if you did it?

Patriot and Supertalent are pretty good, not sure about the warranty side but I think they're alright. Supertalent has the best value RAMs around. Their DDR3 2000 modules are probably the best value, being able to do 2000 at I think 7-7-7-2something timings, which are damn nice, at $329 at CL. A CL8 Dominator is $700 and a CL8 Patriot $529!

835022 2009-12-01 02:02:00 Oh it was nowhere near stable, just curious to see how far it went lol

Stable was about 1000 from memory.

835023 2009-12-01 02:09:00 I think Super Talent has a lifetime warranty. Grimy (3041)
