I think I heard somewhere that Corsair was better but Crucial has flawless reviews too

You really can't go wrong with either one... I also heard that corsair is more "overclockable" and a little more performance oriented so thats what I'm using in my main workstation.... But I have 2 other machines using crucial/micron and they've been flawless as well.

Crucial has just one grade of RAM - dammed good. Corsair has about 3 grades from value to killer OC. It's hard to compare them.

I would say Crucial, because Corsair tends to be less conservative in their grading of ram. Their pc3200 will work great at its rated speed, but it probably won't go far past it.

I got Corsiar XMS 3200 because it came in CAS 2 at the time whereas Crucial only had CAS 2.5. From various sources I was told to get cas 2 for my nforce2 board. If better = more variety then Corsair gets my vote. Lifetime warranty is nice too. Crucial probably wins in the price category though. Its a draw overall but each has its winning points.

Both are very good, corsair prolly just about shades it with the XMS stuff though

Corsair XMS and OCZ ram are the best from what I've seen around. GEIL is also pretty good.

Crucial or Kingston for normal systems, Corsair XMS or Mushkin for overclocking.

I used Samsung (original) PC-2700 for my current system and that's good too. Only planning light OC for this one (probably just to 166MHz FSB and no further) or I'd have gone for the expensive PC-3200.
