[bigslammer]

actually they don't have crosair but do have micron, samsung, toshiba, hyundai. which one's are best from best to worst.

[Todd Beck]

Too bad they don't sell Corsair; I think it's the best. Go to their website and check out the info available:

Slammer,

Well from my own personal experiance I will rate them as

1.Samsung
2. Micron
3. Hyundia
4. Toshiba

I personally have never used Corsair as it was always the highest price memory around my area. I have also used Seimen's memory with great satifaction....

What speed are you looking to get? What size stick?

Truthfully if you are not really trying to push a stick beyond it's rated speed, I have NEVER had a problem with "generic" ram http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif (so you can save some money!)

I have the Micron PC-100 128meg stick. I've had zero problems.

From what i have read..... A lot of ppl buy the generic stuff and have few problems with it also.

My 128Mb MICRON PC-100 "8E" SDRAM works like a champ!!

Samsung RAMs are also **** good in quality followed by Hyundai ones.

I use generic ram all the time... they work great!

Of the one's you listed, I would fo for the micron.

BTW, Corsair is worth the extra few dollars.
It will usually clock higher than the others when used in an overclocked system.

Right now, I'm using IBM PC100 Cas2 for most systems. It happens to be decently priced in my area, plus it seems extremely stable.

Mtsnow, you posted:

how do you do that? *push a stick beyond...*
is this done with the mobo's fsb jumpers?
I'm shopping for ram for my first customer order for a newer amd k6 board, this thread interests me alot.
thanks

Rookie:
Yes that means Overclocking the Memory FSB. If you have gotten a "newer AMD the "stock" setup is running 100mhz FSB so PC100 ram is what you should get. (most PC100 ram is good upto the 120+ FSB) thats why they came out with PC133 ram (which by the way is usually stable up to 150+ FSB)

Thats why "generic" ram USUALLY will work for mild overclocking.

Call me a victim of generic ram; you usually get what you pay for, I always bought the cheap stuff but the last three sticks of the so called PC100 were of the 10ns variety and are unstable even at 100mhz 95mhz works fine though. From now on it's 8ns or faster for me.

Being a true danish patriot (well, maybe not...) I'd go for MCT anytime. But then again, it's probably pretty hard to get your hands on in the US. Should be easier in Europe (as it's made by a danish company...).
