I'd try to go with one of the better name brands, but even their valueram is usually good.. such as the Kingston stuff.

also, Mushkin and Corsair are good. buy whichever of those, you really can't go wrong.

I am using 512MB Mushkin PC3200 Level One on a GigaByte K8NNXP motherboard with an AMD 64 3000+ ... it rocks.

value - Samsung

Mushkin all the way man, make sure you have mushkin BH-5 or BH-6 cuz those have some serious potential

 

[moparmaga]

Mushkin rocks with an A64. Kingston would be good too though.

 

[Juno]

GeIL all the way.

Good luck finding BH-5 today, esp at a serious premium.

BH-6 isnt all that hot. Mushkin is raping people over the coals for the price.

The new OCZ pretty much owns now anyways.

So it this worth the extra $7?

IMO, no

id would stick with the mushkin.

 

[Delorian]

Mushkin, Geil and Corsair are all very good. Hard to pick, but I personally would go with the cheaper out of them

 

[Schadenfroh]

are you overclocking the RAM?

Don't plan on it.

No overclocking then get the cheapest quality name brand you can find.

I've had no problems running with the Kreton or Mushkin value RAM that you've listed here. See Box#2 and #3 of my specs. Regarding BH5, forget it. You'll never find a 512mb stick without a heavy pricetag slapped on it.

I have the Kingston RAM running at 260MHz.
