crucial vs corsair

[Megatonone]

i've read thru a lot of the post here to get the answer to my question but since i still have some uncertainty, i guess i'm looking for a comfirmation as to the best way to procede...

i'm getting ready to upgrade to xp2500+ with asus a7n8x and i'm leaning toward 2/ea. 512 pc3200c2 corsair ($109/ea newegg) or the crucial 512 pc3200 w/ cl3 ($80 ea). since i'm not a gamer (some flt sim) nor oc'er does it make sense to purchase the corsair rather than cheaper crucial... i would like to do a little tweak'n to get the best performance out of my rig.

thanx for any help with this indecision... mega

Go with the Crucial. At worst, you'd end up with some rebranded Samsung with a lifetime warranty. If you're not overclocking, there's no need to get the Corsair.

If you don't want to spend too much extra money for the corsair, get the <A HREF="http://www.memoryx.net/gn512pc3200.html" target="_new">TwinMos memory with Winbond CH-5 chips</A>.
