What brand of RAM is good?

[MaDDaWg1018]

I am currently looking for 512mb's of pc2700 ram (preferably cl2.5 or lower). I know some RAM out there sucks, and some are pretty good, so I want to know (considering both value and performance), what's a good brand to get?

Thanks for any replies.

corsair XMS, kingston hyperX, buffalo, twinMOS, mushkin, OCZ (the high end EL stuff), crucial

hmm...thanks for the suggestions.

hey i have a question though. i see in ur sig that ur running pc3200 ram (capable of 400mhz, right?)...and u have a barton 2500+ im assuming, which has a fsb of 333. isnt it true that ur computer will only run as quick as ur slowest link? so why not get pc2700 instead of pc3200?

(havent been too much into the hardware lately, so forgot a lot of my stuff...clarification would be appreciated)

His 2500+ is overclocked to use a 400 MHz bus (I'm assuming), so there really isn't a 'slowest link'

yup, both the ram and the cpu operate at 400 mhz

The forum you should be posting this question is one of the motherboard-specific forums for whatever motherboard you have. If it's Asus, then visit 'Asus Motherboards' forums, etc.

The memory controller on your motherboard probably works best with one brand of memory or memory chips used in the memory.

Hope this helps!
