Between Crucial, PNY & Kingston Valueram - is one any better than the others?

[preCRT]

For a 900 mhz Athlon/Epox 8KTA3 set up, is one any better than the others?

Crucial 32x64-7.5 256MB SDRAM PC133
PNY 256MB SDRAM PC133
Kingston Valueram 256MB 32x64 SDRAM PC133


Thanks for any insight.

The Crucial is easily your best bet out of those three because you know what chips they are using and they are telling you the latency value whereas it is a guess with the other ones. The PNY and Kingston are about the same quality generally and could provide good performance, but it's more of a crapshoot. The Crucial doesn't cost that much more, and I feel the performance is definitely worth it.

I feel Crucial and mushkin are better choices for ram, however a general computer, not OC'ed should do just fine with any name brand ram. Sometimes generic may cause problems, however I've never encountered any yet.

if the kingston has infineon it is equal to the crucial. i have a stick of valueram pc100 that does 155 2-2-2. great stuff

I use the RAM at Fry's. My next upgrade will probably be through Fry's again since it's $60 for 512mb. Then again, Crucial.com has been price-dropping like crazy too
