Is Kingmax Memory any good?

[peter7921]

Hi i am upgrading my sisters PC and i am getting the Asus A7N8X Deluxe(Nforce 2 chipset). Anyways i wanted to get her DDR400 for possible future upgrade to Barton and 200 MHz FSB. The only DDR400 chips my local retailer has are made by Kingmax does anyone know anything about this company do they make good quality RAM? I don't have to get it locally but it saves me hassle if i can.


BTW

I'm putting in her system
Asus A7N8X(Nforce 2 chipset) - $219(CDN) $140.37(US)

CPU - Athlon 2100+(Retail) (yes i did want to get 2200+ rev. B core but $100 more CDN is not worth it, i will wait and upgrade her CPU next year to a Barton core.) - $165(CDN) $105.76(US)

Memory - Kingmax(maybe) DDR400 - 2 sticks 256MB(512MB total) - $256(CDN) $164.08(US)

Hard Drive - Maxtor 60GB(cheapest 60 they have) - $136(CDN) $87.17(US)

Waht do you think i was going for economy but still nice parts.

From the reviews I'm seeing, it looks like Kingmax puts out some pretty good memory. However, I still think it's better to go with the name brands whenever possible (Crucial, Kingston, Samsung, Corsair, etc.) especially at that high of a speed. If that's what you have to work with, however, I don't seem to see any indication that it will cause you too much grief.

I'm using a couple of Kingmax's sticks and am happy with it so far. 🙂

I thought Kingmax WAS kingstons high end line? I guess not.

I've been using their RAM in my rig for over a year and it's all good 😛
