What brand of RAM? Crucial vs Kingston

[Joecheng]

I was looking at Newegg and Googlegear for pc2700 DDR RAM and I am confused. For 163$, I can get 512 MB of PC2700 DDR333 RAM from Kingston, the exact same thing on Googlegear costs only 136$. I copied and pasted the model number from newegg to googlegear so i know its the same thing . . . why i newegg so much more expensive? The other thing that confuses me is that I was reading in the motherboard forum on Anandtech and they were saying something about Crucial memory being the best kind of memory one can get. but 512 MB of DDR 333 memory from Crucial at Newegg costs 207$ we're talkin about a 70$ difference here. . . How does that work?

NewEgg is selling the Samsung PC2700 for $163 plus shipping, and you can get Crucial direct from the factory internet site Crucial.com with free 2nd day air shipping.
The two best memory sticks are Samsung and Crucial, period, end of discussion. Almost all the other performance chips use Samsung chips if they are a contender to the claim of being an overclockable performance chip.
Why does it cost more for Crucial than Kingston? You get what you pay for. Buy a racehorse get a racehorse, buy a plowhorse get dogfood.

Mr. Sulu get a tractor beam on Joecheng's wallet and beam him aboard.
