Ok, I've been looking up on RAM for the last little while and I'm curious if I have this information correct.
First off there are generic memory companies such as Samsung, Micron, Winbond etc. (any others that you might know please mention).
Then there are are brand name companies (eg. Corsair, Kingston, Geil, Crucial, OCZ, KingMax, Infineon etc.). Once again, please mention more if you know any.
So the brand name companies take the generic memories and tweak them to give better performance/stability. They also have much better (but more expensive) low latency RAM.
Now if I was an average consumer, not caring about low latency on RAM, what would stop me from buying just generic Samsung PC3200 RAM as opposed to Kingston PC3200 RAM?
(Any information to clear up my confusion and what I may have possibly wrong would be helpful)
Love, Faith & Joy
