Does brand matter for RAM?

Getting a 1G stick replaced after 20 months with no hassle is a good thing...
Brand matters.

Alright and one other thing:

I'm going to go with the Corsair most likely, but how do we figure out/where do we run a scan to see if our computer can run a 2700 or a 3200?  I did the "CAN YOU RUN THIS?" test and think my computer had slots for both, but are there other sites?

Thanks a lot again

What type of ram do you have now? If you have 2700 getting 3200 would be a waste because it would set itself to 2700.  And if you have 3200 and you get 2700 the 3200 will go down to 2700

You can try looking up your motherboards model online and find the specs of the board. Or find the manual. Those should tell you what you can handle.

Do you know the model of the motherboard?
