RAM is RAM, til it goes south. Name brand, a company's "value line",
generic, it doesn't make a damn bit of difference once you get past the
"quality control" verification of running with decent utilization for a few
days. If it works without errors, it's the best ram you can buy. Period.
When you buy name brand RAM, you're typically paying extra for perceived
quality control, advertising dollars, and a warranty. I've always purchased
generic memory, and have never had any failuers. My last RAM purchase was
name brand, because in the current market climate, the name brand sticks
were actually slightly cheaper than the generic. I bought a 256MB PC133
stick of Corsair, and a 128MB PC100 stick of Kingston. I tried them both in
an I810 based mobo, that maxes at 100FSB. Guess what, the Kingston hard
locks the machine. The PC133 Corsair works fine..?
If I'd bought both sticks in Generic, I bet they'd both have worked..
