    What is a decent brand of memory to buy?
    « on: March 10, 2006, 01:03:31 PM »
    I'm tired of dealing with those yahoo's over at PNY and the junk RAM they keep sendind me.  What is a decent brand of SDR PC133 RAM to buy.  I don't overclock or do anything fancy.  I'm tired of returning bad RAM.

    [highlight]Crucial[/highlight] is probably the leader in the field.

    What kind of machine is it? High density RAM doesn't work in older ones. Crucial guarantees compatibility. Hard to beat that.

      I have an old Asus A7V133A.  I've heard Crucial many time before, but I thought it was more for people who Overclock.  I think I'll give it a try.  

      Anybody want to buy some PNY RAM  ;)

      Crucial has some high dollar overclockable RAM, but they can supply the correct basic modules for virtually any machine as well.

      I agree Crucial is good.  I would also recommend Kingston.

      kingston is good, i agree, but i think that crucial website useability is much better. i was just at both shoping for more ram.

      i'm still a newbie so my advice may be obliterated by those that have been so wonderful to me. But i bought Kingston and my new baby flies and flies well. Got it cheap too.

      Kingston is also a very good supplier. I didn't mention them because I couldn't remember their name at the time. :-[ ;D
