Hi i am upgrading my sisters PC and i am getting the Asus A7N8X Deluxe(Nforce 2 chipset). Anyways i wanted to get her DDR400 for possible future upgrade to Barton and 200 MHz FSB. The only DDR400 chips my local retailer has are made by Kingmax does anyone know anything about this company do they make good quality RAM? I don't have to get it locally but it saves me the hassle if i can.

BTW

I'm putting in her system
Asus A7N8X(Nforce 2 chipset) - $219(CDN) $140.37(US)

CPU - Athlon 2100+(Retail) (yes i did want to get 2200+ rev. B core but $100 more CDN is not worth it, i will wait and upgrade her CPU next year to a Barton core.) -
$165(CDN) $105.76(US)

Memory - Kingmax(maybe) DDR400 - 2 sticks 256MB(512MB total) - $256(CDN) $164.08(US)

Hard Drive - Maxtor 60GB(cheapest 60 they have) -
$136(CDN) $87.17(US)

What do you think i was going for economy but still nice parts.

--------
The only thing i know...

Kingmax is the largest memory producer for the Taiwan and East Asian markets. I've been using Kingmax DDR333 RAMs for more than 6 months and never have any problem with them. This web page should give you a better view of Kingmax memory.
