My mushkin pc 2700 is pretty good. I am thinking about upgrading to corsair xms later though.

save your money on the corsair and get some twinmos/winbond!

it's only like 134 or so for 512 stick... compared to... i dunno how much more for the corsair...

Mushkin is still alive and well and selling some top-notch memory, IMHO.

If I remember correctly, Mushkin used to hand-pick their modules that supported the higher operating frequencies. Now today, memory yields are much much better than they were just a year ago and other manufacturers like Corsair, Crucial, Geil and other "high-end" competitors have jumped into the market and established big names for themselves. Well except for Geil which I think is some small startup trying to get its foot in the door right now.

Corsair has been making high quality memory and hand picking it at least as far back as 1998 when I built my celeron 266@448 mhz machine. I paid 90 bucks for a 64 mb stick of quality pc 100 ram.
