Which of the 3 types of RAM do you like better?

Corsair XMS

OCZ

Kingston HyperX

*Edit* Cost or value is not an issue as they are ALL already purchased
but I'm trying to decide which ones to use in my current system....was
thinking of swapping out the OCZ's and running the Corsairs with the Kingston = 2.0GB
 
OCZ has done some pretty dishonest things in the past. I think they may have cleaned up their act a little since then, but I still wouldn't purschase any of their products.

Out of those three I would go for the Kingston. Quality memory, good reputation, and a pretty decent price...at least when compared to the Corsair.
 
I use Legend Ram, there a Australian company who uses Hynix Ram, very stable, my AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Newcastle has the usual misread CPU Temperature problem, even when it says the CPU is at 80 degree's celcius my pc doesn't crash. which means my Ram is doing a fine job 😀
 
I've decided to give Hitachi and OCZ a chance in spite of what people have said about them a few years ago, and I haven't been disappointed, so I would definitely get the OCZ if cost were an issue.

Seeing as cost is not an issue, I would go with Corsair... unless you have a window in your case, then I'd get the blue one. 🙂
 
They're likely all to be using Winbond CH-5, so I would choose the cheapest.

edit- lol, didn't notice your stipulation until after I posted 😛 Well, cost aside I believe Corsair manufactures the highest quality PCB's next to Mushkin. I also trust Kingston's quality, and OCZ has improved immensely since the shady days however. Corsair has some of the best support should something go wrong IIRC.
