Best memory brand!?
- Thread starter DragonPC
- Start date
So many good brands out there. I have some good experience with corsair and OCZ... But our Guvnor Tom is very enthousiastic about mushkin so if you are looking for the best juist listen to him
cheers!
You're one of the few thats all smiles with OCZ ram. I'd have to agree with the corsair and mushkin. Redline is sexy as can be.
Really...? What is bad about OCZ ram?
Apparently they are bad hence why they haven't sold well, hence why OCZ isn't making ram anymore.
Hence, hence, hence

They are not producing ram anymore
Kingston is the best ram manufacturer. They actually manufacture RAM.
Corsair is a sticker company. They manufacture stickers... Look at various reviews on newegg about Corsair ram, and see how many received unmached modules in their tri-channel kits. The kit says it's 1600MHz and often there is one or two of them that can only do 1333MHz (and has the SPD programmed only up to 1333). Their QA is slipping. They also have too many revisions for the same product.
OCZ is dead. We all know it.
Mushkin is fine but they are EOL-ing kits too quickly.
You can also look into bargain companies like GSkill or Patriot, but I wouldn't. Not when you know what happent to OCZ.

i would say to go with either Mushkin or Corsair...they seem to have a good performance but also good customer support. (at least from my experience i havent had any problems)

I'd say go Mushkin. I know I have OCZ at the moment but I'm getting rid and buying Muskin as soon as I can afford to.
+1 Those two get my vote aswell.

I'm a G. Skill Corsair guy myself - this article doesn't put mushkin in the top 10, but I've never used it myself:
Best Ram for Gaming

I've always used Kingston, but am considering a change to either Corsair or Mushkin.
Most Reliable - Kingston, Mushkin, Samsung
Best Performance - Corsair, G-Skill, Mushkin
Best Value (Price/Performance/Reliability) - probably Crucial
Best Overall (Performance/Reliability/Longevity) - probably Mushkin
-Digitrax Custom Computing - over 500 machines built

My Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2 kit just died on me, but they offer lifetime insurance so I'll send my kit to England and once they receive it they will send back a kit of Ballistix Sport memory. Fair enough since that's the fastest DDR2 they produce right now. I must say I'm very satisfied with their customer services. Will probably be buying Crucial again!
Mushkin (Ridgeback) are quite expensive in The Netherlands, but they're also really good.
