[Qwertyleo]

OK IM buying a new set ram ina few weeks, My current crucial ram sint doing the trick, its done up till this point but well I need two gig.

IM looking to spend at most £130 on the ram.

Here two that ahve caught my Eye, any other suggestions would be welcome.

G.Skill 2GB DDR ZX PC3200 (2x1GB) CAS2 Dual Channel Kit
Comming in at £130

and

Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX (2x1GB) CAS2 (MY-079-CS)
comming in at £128.

The G.Skill ram has slightly better timings, but I trust corsair more as a brand :-/.

Suggestions comments?

I have used Corsiars and OCZ from their value rams to their extreme overclocking series. You can't go wrong with them Corsairs.

Depends on what you're doing, and your system specs could help us figure out what you want/ need.
I've used Corsair for a few years, good stuff that won't quit. BUT if you plan on oc'ing, you might want to think of using a higher RAM module, DDR433-600. I switched to OCZ gold DDR500 2X1GB so I could pump up my fsb and keep my memory divider down (AMD Opteron170, fsb296 w/5:4 divider, 246.7MHz memory, slower than rated, but timings are now 3-3-3-7 1T instead of 3-4-3-8 1T. Remember that if you get four sticks, you have to stay with 2T in your timings.) Now I'm Prime95 stable. Also, my friend grabbed some G-Skill RAM, said it's workin' pretty good, no problems.

When it's all said and done, though, any reputable RAM manufacturer is cool, just don't skimp and go value memory... get some good upper crust memory and be happy.

I just recently bought the A64 x2 3800 and the corsair xms2048c2 twinx and can't be happier.
