Looking at 1024 DDR 400 RAM, I know nothing about manufacturers, or what makes one stick better than another, What brands are "reasonably priced, but have good performance" Some inexpensive brands I've seen are Kingston ValueRAM, GEIL, OCZ Value, Buffalo Select, Ultra, US Modular, Mushkin Green Line, Corsair Value Select, and getting to the maximum $ I was looking at PNY.
Best RAM is Corsair, but then you have various quality modules. Chances are, if your asking this question , you don't want to spend much money, in which case just go for what you can afford. It will all come with a warranty, just make sure its compatible with your PC.
Yeah US. Well looking at prices.. I really don't want to spend over $100USD, I'm trying to build a better faster computer, Mine is being taken in a "settlement," without going broke. I just wondered if certain brands really "performed" better.
I bought the Patriot from New Egg for an upgrade on 2 of my computers. Was cheao and works excellent. Chris
