I've used two 'OCZ' modules before - both were fine. I've used two
'Kingston' memory modules before - the first was fine and the second one
doesn't operate at its advertised PC-3000. It wouldn't even work properly
at speeds of PC-2700. It took all the way down to around 'PC-2400' or
150MHz to get it to work without making the system restart. This means that
I had to 'underclock' an Athlon XP 2800+ down to 1.88GHz (200MHz slower than
it should be) to get it to work properly. It stinks that the CPU's
multiplier is locked so I could at least gain some of the speed back. Then,
the Samsung, my second worst experience. It would cause the computer to
restart itself for about a week, then it's fine. However, I had to slightly
underclock an old Athlon XP 2000+ to get it to quit doing that. Moreover,
any time you would try to adjust the CPU speed no matter if it was
increasing or decreasing, the computer would restart itself for about a week
again before it would straighten out.
