What mobo? Certain mobos have problems with Winbond CH-5 chips. Not sure if OCZ uses them or not, but it's something to consider. GeIL makes their own chips. Also, do you plan to OC with it or not? I just ordered some GeIL because of the price, but given other choices that cost more I'm not sure I'd still go with GeIL if I had the money and planned to OC...

Geil from newegg. Since I haven't had any problems returning something if it didn't work like I wanted too.

I won't buy OCZ on principle. To many scams for too long, if they have indeed turned over a new leaf so to speak, good for them. I'll still opt to not buy from them for a while.

Geil is pretty good stuff, very nice for the price. Overclocking is somewhat hit and miss, but typically decent.

I just RMA'd a stick of GEIL 3200 CL2 because it would only actually work at 2700. I ordered a stick of Corsair to avoid any more potential hassle. That's just my experience, though.

Yea, i was seriously considering Geil, but I read about it and I picked up Corsair to prevent a future headache.

OCZ EL is good stuff, if it isnt EL, OCZ and GeIL are pretty similar

Alkaline5: Just curious, but was your stick of GeIL the Golden Dragon model or not?
