Ok, I'm sure it's been discussed a lot on this board, but I have a dilemna:
I currently have 128 (2x64, of course) mb RD ram in my pc, I'm looking to upgrade because,well frankly, 128 isn't cutting it.. lmao
Now, I went on price watch, searched around and all that, and I'm looking for what brand to get, I've seen a few brands that I'm somewhat familiar with (in terms of reputation etc..).. has anyone seen any links, or experienced anything (good or bad) with these brands?
1. Corsair (I heard this is some of the best to get)
2. Samsung: one of the most common brands I'm finding on pricewatch...
3. NEC
4. Kingston

Now I think I have to go with kingston just cause the shop i'm going to (in Indianapolis, where I'm going to visit next week) has it in stock (pc800 "8-device" Rdram ECC).. is kingston a good brand to get for rambus?? I know it's a decent brand for sdram and all that..
Thanks

the reason this post wasn't answered quickly is because the question has been discussed Ad Nauseum in this forum and several others here at THG the short answer is Samsung NON ECC

You seem to have done quite a lot of searching on PriceWatch, is it that much more difficult here?

Yes, double-sided Samsung is best.

Samsund has also been proved to be overclockable to PC1066 quite easily and most of the time very stably. Percect for overclocks of the 1.6A to 2.4GHZ and above.
