Memory Brand

[Bad Bubba]

I'm seeing a lot of recomendations for Corsair memory in the group these
days. Is this "the" brand to get now?

You obviously can't go wrong with Corsair memory but I buy what's on sale at
Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. and have never had one not work.

It's a very high quality brand that I also use.

Anandtech recently posted an article on memory sticks for AMD 64. OCZ
Platinum Rev. 2 PC 3200 offered the best price/performance ratio.

Thanks everyone for your input. I decided to go with two of the "1 gig
pairs" at Newegg for my new ASUS P4 board. I'm guessing from what I
read in the newsgroup that's the best way to go for two gigs, rather
than two 1 gig chips.

But a "1 gig" pair is two 1 gig chips??

According to the NewEgg web site a "1 gig pair" of Corsair memory is two
512 meg chips for a total of 1 gigabyte. I ordered two of these
"pairs" for a total of 2 gigabytes.

From what I have been reading in the group, 512 meg chips are more
stable and run cooler than 1 gig chips.

Corsair, Kingston, or Crucial, IMO.

No, a "1 gig pair" is two 512 MB chips, for a total of 1 gig..
