100% Samsung
Crucial/Micron
Corsair (usually made with Samsung silicon on their own PCB (circuit board)
I've had no trouble with Kingston modules. In the recent past, one was 100% Samsung and the latest has no name on the silicon or the PCB.
.bh.
:beer: time!

I'm a Crucial stalwart. Also fans of Micron (they make Crucial), Mushkin, Corsair and Samsung. Pretty much in that order. If any of my clients need a RAM upgrade, it's always with Crucial units. Way highly recommended- never experienced a less than perfect experience with one!

Yeah, Samsung is really kick-ass. I tried the Kingston Hyper-X...gay. So many errors, then ultimately system stalled. Switched to slower (7-3-3-2.5) Samsung...happy. Samsung is still THE #1 stable\overclock capabel memory. Yesterday overclocked my fsb (i got 2700 modules) from 166 to 200, just to see how it goes. It went awesome. Not a glitch of instability. Go Samsung!

Used to ONLY buy Mushkin, but I currently have Kingston and Kingmax. Haven't had any problems per say. Although it hasn't really been overclocked since I can't unlock my CPU on this board..but, none the less, it seems to work fine for me.
