I would disagree with that.

Crucial, Geil and Mushkin regularly beat Kingston in comparisons.

Besides that, all the manufacturers make different grades of memory sticks. Usually the stuff you find on sale at the big chain stores is the lower end product.

Crappy memory can be the source of endless headaches, trying to isolate the cause of instability and bad performance.

Not worth the few bucks you save, I don't think.

Kingson is high quality ram but not the best.


What about K-byte?
Never heard of it.

I will agree with 3rd gen noob. Hey bud&#33; How are you doing? Hopefully doing well in Math&#33;

:P

Regarding the topic: look for ram with low CAS latency, if your motherboard supports it.

I have a Dell and having faster CAS latency doesen&#39;t do me any good. But I have to live with it...until my next computer...
