which is the BEST RAM company. vote!

Which is the best company.

As simple as that.. these companies have rams with same frequency and latency timing.. ranging from value rams to higend ones. So it all boils down to which brand is the best, most stable, warranty, service. price.

i know there are a lot more brands out there but these are the few that i can get locally without shipping from overseas.

edit: I'm getting DDR2. 800MHz

Shouldn't Corsair be in the mix on this??? How bout OCZ... I like the poll, but would have been nice to see these on there as options as well.

-Rock on-

You got it wrong the best RAM company is Corsair and Patriot,they make the best RAM but if it comes between the 2 i would choose Geil

 

[fowang]

should of added more options to the poll as has be mentioned in the above posts

Fair enough but as penguin1 has stated, these brands are what he can get locally - doesn't anybody read?!

If I had to choose between the two, I'd go for Geil

 

[penguin1]

what the?

I am dead sure i added OCZ and Corsair to the list but i don't know why it doesn't appear. Strange.. oh well kingston and Geil then.

OK, if you include Corsair and OCZ, I'd pick Corsair for the best overall performance, but OCZ right behind because of better price.

 

[penguin1]

can a moderator please add corsair & OCZ to the poll if possible?

Crucial Ballistix FTW. Better overclockers than Corsair XMS, faster stock than OCZ, better warranty than both. Expensive as hell, but you get what you pay for.

I don't think there is an answer. Quality of production runs changes from day to day, vendor to vendor. Qualified hardware lists change from motherboard to motherboard. If people say one is better than another, on any given day, they don't know what they are talking about.

If I had to make a buying decision I'd be more inclinded to try to find out what memory works best in my particular motherboard. You still couldn't be sure, again based on the qualtiy of the different production runs, but you are better off than just picking a vendor out of the air and saying it is better than another based on some misconceived idea of quality.

Ok, so I didn't read the fact that this guy is in ANTARTICA!? Nice catch btw...

Wow, must be cold there... but you have to admit, I sparked a lot of discussion amoungst the other brands...

 

[FatFunkey]

yea dude you only have Geil (which just started..as a company) and Kingston...you forgot to other major ones.....Corsair and Patriot

Good Sir,


Corsair and Kingston are great to deal with warranty wise.

OCZ is Good Value, Great overclockers.

Geil is also great overclocker.


My pick is Corsair. Excellent with great base peformance.

Seems like he should have no problems overclocking. -64 degrees C?!? If that is where he is, he should go with what overclocks best and crank it. Just make sure he has a duct from outside to cool his comp. 8O

I read about a guy who liquid cooled his computer using copper tubing connected to his house's water system. The radiator is a long stretch of copper pipe buried underground, so it's entirely passive except for the pump, which was outside.

Only problem is that his computer is now attached to his house...

If you used that principle with your outside temperatures, an overclocked Prescott would run full load around 10 degrees!
