what memory do you use?

[Dragoon42]

I was wondering since crucial memory doesn't work w/nforce 2 boards, which brands do you guys go with? I don't plan on overclocking and looking at the 512mb pc2700 models, is kingmax or kingston o.k?

NF7-S v1.2
1GB Geil PC3500 Ultra Platinum Low Latency Kit ($259 @ directron)

Kingston makes some nice HyperX PC3000
Samsung Original is also nice PC2700

 

[Dragoon42]

anyone else?

Aside from the 2 Crucial PC2100 256 MB, I do have the Samsung PC2700 512 MB.

Been seeing good things about Kingston around here.

I have 2 pieces of Samsung PC3200 256MB on my A7N8X Deluxe board. No problems so far.

I have one 256MB stick of Samsung PC2700. And just the other day I went to the same store I bought it from and asked for another 256MB stick, I just assumed that they where still selling the Samsung ones. But they weren't and when I got home I figured out I had gotten some generic crap. Oh, well, a lesson taught though.

Oops. I bought 2 sticks of Kingston pc2700 a few weeks ago for my nForce board. Maybe it was specific to me, but my PC would lock up fairly often. I was running everything at spec too. I RMA'd them and bought 2 sticks of Samsung pc2700. They've been rock solid. Again maybe it was just me, but I won't buy Kingston for NForce boards anymore.

I have a 256Mb stick of PC2100 DDR Micron, and I use the most agressive memory timing (CAS 2, etc) and it works great in my Epox 8KHA+ (VIAKT266A)

Micron 256MB PC133. Had 512 but I had to sacrifice my other 256 so that my sister could get my bro's two 128 sticks. now i gotta convince my dad that I need to buy memory again. I gotta see how it will benefit the family

 

[Dragoon42]

so i guess kingston and samsung chips are o.k chips to use? i figured samsung was good but didn't know about kingston

 

[McCarthy]

PC133 with a nForce2?

I just bought an Aopen AK79-1394 with 512 of Kingston PC2700, will report back when it shows up and I see how it acts.

 

[lssanjose]

good luck with it. I've heard mixed bags about kingston that's all

I have OEM version of this RAM and have no problems what so ever.
