What Brand of Memory do you use? - Page 3

Crucial's great stuff - excellent customer service too. I've seen literally a couple thousand modules go in machines here at work over the past ten years, only seen a half dozen or so fail, but no overclocking/overvolting...

most reasons why memory module dies could be due to ripple voltage, and some could be SPD data on the modules are somehow corrupted.

G.Skill, Great price, great performance.

I use a Corsair Twin 2X2048-6400C5DHX kit. I'd prefer if it was a 4GB kit but I had a 4GB (non-Corsair) kit fail, and atm I couldn't afford the comparable 4GB Corsair kit. I got DDR2-800 / CAS 5 memory because that's what my X38 chipset board wants. And I made sure that I got a kit that would run at the stock DRAM voltage of 1.8v (many kits run at 2.0-2.1v, which recent Intel chipsets don't really like.

Oh and I Chose to go back to Corsair because of the "DHX" (Dual-path Heat Exchange) feature. The failure of the last kit was probably a combination of not quite enough voltage and a bit too much heat. These modules are actually much "taller" than you might expect. So the DHX feature isn't just a marketing gimmick, there is actual hardware that seems to work.

Corsair, for years now.

Why? I was always using Infineon before. After I had some really bad sticks from them, I tried Samsung, which were average. Then I decided to go with Corsair, and I'm building all my rigs now with Corsair, mostly XMS in gaming systems, Value Select in office ones.

I've never actually heard of "supertalent". I do all my buying at NCIX in Canada, is supertalent a euro company?

Adata...always found that it's cheap and clocks well if I need it to

quite a lot of the companies use samsung memory modules on their sticks btw... even GFX manufacturers...

Same here. I use G.Skill and for the same reasons. G.Skill simply Rocks!

I am using OCZ 4000 Plat EB because it's the very best DDR1 ram you can buy. If I was to upgrade now, I'd be running Dominators even though they burn out in 2 months.

Wheres Mushkin???

OCZ these days. Great prices and always had rock solid performance and reliability from them. Any warranty concerns I have had were taken care of swiftly. Before that (back in the PC100 days) it was Samsung or Kingston.

Just research... I look at what's available, then research my options then pick what I think is the best then usually buy my 2nd choice due to lack of money funds

G.Skill . Strictly for the over-clocking.

Blazer · Nov 25, 2007, 08:21 PM

I use OCZ, it was the cheapest with heat spreaders when I purchased it, + it has a lifetime waranty which I have already taken advantage of once, and their support is second to none.
