King of the RAM?

[Ethan]

100 Bucks for 8 Gigs? I got my 8 Gigs for like 60-65 Bucks 1333MHZ DDR3

They said DDR2. $100 for 8GB of DDR2 is actually a pretty reasonable price. Don't forget it's much more expensive than DDR3.

Depends on when it was bought, as well. My 8GB DDR3-1600 cost me ~$100 (in Australia, where prices are slightly higher), which was good 3 years ago. Today, it's horrible value.

I generally stick with Corsair. They're great with warranty (as are most major memory makers) and I have mostly Corsair gear (Case, PSU, RAM, Cooler, SSD, memory, etc). That said, it's a preference thing and I am under no illusions of them being vastly superior to the others.

Also, guys, OCing potential has more to do with the (mostly bought-in) chips on the side than the assembling manufacturer.

mushkin because dem heatspreaderz

patriot memory is missing

I use Mushkin Blacklines in my desktop and Corsair Vengeance in my server.

 

I have a biased predisposition for Mushkin products because they're a Colorado firm and I'm Coloradan, so buying their stuff supports my local economy. Aside from that, their RAM has actually ran fairly well and stably in my system.

I use Kingston :). But something epic to come for my next build, I only need the money and to wait for that 4770k or 49x0 cpu.

Only brand I'd trust is corsair.

[Nick Paviour]

i've got 16GB's of some Patriot G2 Memory

[Samskip]

Corsiar. Vengeance and dominator platinum modules look amazing.

[DAOWAce]

My DDR2 chips were GeiL Black Dragons. Beauties.

 

Now I have simple G.Skill chips that were horribly overpriced ($300 for 4x4GB 1600MHz CL7 @1.65v) and I smack myself for because of it.  Low latency RAM is a dying fad unfortunately; need to jump to high-bandwidth while keeping the lowest possible latencies instead, better for encoding software afaik.  (Also, it didn't work properly on my boards with all 4 sticks.  Took MSI a a single support ticket and 2 weeks to support it.. took ASUS about 7 months and tons of nagging. Shame I don't like using MSI boards.)

I use Corsair Vengeance atm, used to have Kingston. Voted only for Corsair cause we have to choose a winner and the Dominators look so beastly.

[Ymac]

What about Patriot and Crucial?

I am going to be getting my Ballistix Tactical Tracer soon ;)

[Purple]

I'm currently using some Corsair Vengeance RAM, works perfectly and doesn't look terrible.

[Sync]

using 8GB of G.Skill Trident X 2400Mhz that I won from a local PC store  :P

[ExDreamer]

I currently own corsair and patriot

[GamerDude]

I voted Corsair only because I have 2 sets of Corsair in my main rig, but I do buy a whole slew RAM from a few makers, including G Skill RipJaws X/Z, OCZ Reaper, Kingston HyperX, and this set of MX ArmorX DDR3 2300mhz RAM from this company called Mach Xtreme......it has heatpipes attached to the heatsink for better cooling. I'd bought them because they were on sale, and looked awesome....to me anyways. Here's a pic:

I've since replaced them with the Corsair Dom Plat, so they are now in my storeroom should I ever need them. This is an old pic, before adding a 3rd HD7970 sometime last year...

Nice setup however if one of those 7970 blowers is loud then how loud is two or even three

Wha...? What did you say? I can't hear you! Speak up! (Does that answer your question?) :lol:

[toctoc1980]

Crucial for realibility!

KING of RAM?

 

KINGston of course!

 

 

No, but all jokes aside, I vote G.Skill or Corsair.

[Yoinkerman]

I have a pile of Mushkin blacklines from when they were $35/8gb, some blue g.skills, and a bunch of old ocz 1gb with the orangy/red heatsinks for my older computers, poor ocz :(

[swordlord357]

Corsair for me. I really like how it looks, the quality, the different types. Kingston is also a favourite of mine, but I just can't get enough of how bad-ass my Vengeance puppies look.

[7Shinoda]

Was using a pair of Corsair's vengeance but they decided to freeze my pc from time to time so i RMA it and bought a pair of GSkil's ripjaws x

  :)

Why is Patriot not on this list? I bought patriot because it was the best ram I could find under $40 at the time. 1866mhz and and 9-9-9-24 cas timings and it was only $30...

Ran out of space sorry. I went a bit brain dead which is why i put the dell joke which i tend to do a lot

[PartyHat]

Kingston, they're usually cheap and easy to find down here in South America, never had a stick fail on me, and when I tried to overclock them they worked pretty nicely too.
