ocz or corsair for my new build!?

[trOver]

as the title shows, which brand of memory should i get for my new build? its gona be 2x1gb, and pc-6400, paired with an e6600 and the evga 680i mobo. Should i go for the ocz (and if so, what do all the different ones mean, ex gold, silver, platium, titanium) or the corsair xms2???

i think memory chip type is more important than brand name. Do some research on a particular model and understand what the ram chip is capable of b4 buying.🙂 Sometimes u can get a fabulous overclock on ram that isnt brand name but is the same chip type.

I heard that if you go for the OCZ RAM, go with the platinum sticks, I don't know if the other ones have reliablity problems though. I have Corsair RAM now and it works fine.

good deal

I own both. Both work fine, both overclock great. Corsair looks a bit nicer in a windowed case. However, Corsair is overpriced even more than all the other DDR2 out there......you're definitely paying a premium, and without much to justify it.

Corsair is probably more "extreme" for overclockers, but is also a fair bit more money. Corsair's the Lamborghini, OCZ is the Ferrari 😉

OCZ hands down
