GSkill, because when I was looking for ram it had the best price/performance ratio and a lifetime warranty. In the past I've used Crucial, Geil and Corsair.

Had GSkill, now I have PDP/Patriot. Why? It was the cheapest brand when I bought it, while still carrying a brand.

I use Corsair atm, why? I used to have a pair of Team Xtreeme but one module died so I picked up a pair of Corsair 800mhz 4-4-4-12 modules...

several brands of low price RAM, mainly Kingston's and various DRAM chips. and G.Skill brand for overclocking.
buy based on trust in the vendor and quality, compatibility design of the components used in product.

I personally use Corsair, and occasionally I sell their Rendition stuff, but I usually sell Transcend, and Kingston.

The first modules in my system were OCZ, after a while I changed to Kingston HyperX. I bought them because of a good price/quality. And I like the heatspreader color

In my main desktop OCZ, they were cheapest for the speed/type I wanted.
Generally, I just buy whatever is cheapest at the speed I'm looking for.

I've just been using Mushkin forever. One of those things where old habits die hard.

2GB TeamGroup Elite 800. It was the cheapest that it wasn't OEM or "value" and has great timings.
Also lifetime warranty.

Corsair Dominator - Because its the best ram on the market for OCing, and I can get the most reproducible results with it on any board. Has to be the highly binned Micron stuff, not the newer 8500C5D or 6400C4DF though.... 6400C3DF, 8888C4DF,etc etc
Coolest, and fastest memory I have ever used really.
And not to mention, the turn around time on RMA's I have had no problems, and the stuff is guaranteed for life. I have ripped through at least 4 kits of Dominators that have died for various reasons, and it was replaced no questions asked. Highly Recommend them
PS- If you have any problems with Corsair RAM, or the RMA let me know and I will put you in contact with someone that can help

I'm currently using OCZ RAM. It was among the cheapest for the best performance I could find at the time of purchase. I had no problems so far with it.
I don't really have any brand preference. I'll usually base my purchases on price, performance, availability and reviews.

I've been sticking it out with Patriot ram since the athlon XP days. They offer just as good timings/oc'ing as the big boys and are far cheaper-usually with awesome rebates too. Support is great also

OCz Platinum, they don't overclock the greatest but they had the tightest timings around when I got them and a lifetime warranty.
