I have the Corsair 1Gb DDR400 Dual Channel Kit

ocz vx 4000 has got to be the best memory yet in ddr1
610mhz 3448 @ 3.6V via ddr booster will run 2228 upto 533 @ 3.3v

My choices pretty closely mirror the poll results. I use Corsair for my overclocking rigs, and I use & recommend Kingston for decent performance, 'general-purpose' rigs. It just works, and their warranty is great. That said, I've had some problems with Corsair memory, and their support is amazing. I've twice had a memory stick replaced due to flaws, their support was fast and a good example of how hardware support EVERYWHERE ought to be.

Corsair XMS for me, although I have some OCZ and Kingston in a drawer for emergencies and dust collection.

My preferences are Corsair, OCZ, and mushie! For my PC that's almost done, I just purchased this kit: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...?EdpNo=1440844. Gotta love that 2-2-2-5-1 CAS. I used to use OCZ, but I find that the new Corsair RAM overclocks better.

I pretty much like corsair i run 1024 in all 4 machines i have and never had any problems

Ive Got Kingston Value in all my back-up machines...stable as a rock. Some of my Kingston SDRAM is like 5 years old, overclocked, and still running strong. My new found favorite overclocking ram is Mushkin, its not pretty or flashy, but it gets the job done. I have to say though, Corsair is a very close second in the overclocking department...The only reason its not #1 is because of some RMA problems I had with them.

I like corsair the best, but I also am considering getting a few sticks of ram of crucial balliztics so my opnion might change...

I've had good luck with oc'ing ram so far except for the ram that comes stock with eMachines computers, I put it in another motherboard and tried to oc it and its horribly unstable.

In my case, Corsair's RMA department has bent over backwards to help me out. I had not one, but 2 defective modules.

The first module would run OK at stock speeds, but would not run well at any overclocked FSB's, it would crash and give memory errors all the time. But Corsair RMA'd it (heck, when was the last time a hardware company did a return on a product that *didn't* overclock?).

The second was the replacement of the first, I believe XMS2400. Quite possibly due to my own oops, since I was having trouble installing the module and only half the time it would post, I checked the metal contacts. I found that a single contact had peeled away from the circuit board. Even when I tried putting it back into position, it would never make enough contact to POST. I contacted Corsair about this second module, explained the situation, and never expected them to RMA it...but that's exactly what they did, and since they no longer had XMS2400's, they shipped me an XMS2700 module. I will therefore buy all my own personal RAM from Corsair....but I agree that Kingston Valu-Ram is solid as a rock under everyday circumstances, and would use it in any systems I built for friends or clients.

historically, Crucial. Although I am seriously eyeing my investment on Kingston value RAM right now.

What is the down side, if any, of mixing brands?
Currently I have OCZ 2x512.
Can I expect different brands to work together?

For instance will OCZ PC???? Mix with Corsair PC????

I do not have any brand allegiance; IÂ’m looking for the best deal.

Kingston Value Ram is what I use.

After having a chance to play with it and actually kill it, the OCZ PC-4800 RAM rocks. I was going for a record OC when I think it was my BUS that actually gave up first, causing a mobo, RAM, and drive explosion.

I was running at 628MHz before I attemped to bump it up... how many folks can say that.

I used to run Kingston, until i recently bought OCZ RAM.. Im very pleased with the OCZ over the kingston, although the lifetime warranty was big to give up, i think its better in the long run. You wont be needing a 512mb Kingston stick in 18 months anyways

I'm using Infineon & Transcend now (these can be bought on every streetcorner in the EU).
Kingston is easy to get as well but a bit pricey... Next time I think I'll be going for Corsair for myself..

Been using their Dual Channel kits in a few rigs I built for friends & family.. never had any problems...
Stock or Overclocked...

I'd have to order the other brands mentioned here in a webshop... and I only order stuff when
I really have to....

TDR

Kingston...stability and low costs

i like OCZ i just wish i had some...

I voted other - i dont see g.skill on that list

Cant speak for their standard of value RAM, but their TCCD high-end is phenomenal, as was their service when the first chip came defective

Kingston or Corsair is my perference for value ram for cost and reliability.
Corsair is also my choice for low latency type memory. Xms pro LL runs well
and is tested with asus motherboards so it seemed like the logical choice when
building my sli machine...

I love me some OCZ. They were really helpful with my RMA of the DDR600 memory.
