Ok I'll do that.

EDIT: I know I missed TwinMOS, Rambus and other oldies but I figured whatevs. I think I got the bigger ones. Also note that it started alphabet..ically I think it's spelled but it got out of hand. Sorry about that.

EDIT: AAaaaaand no G-Skill. I rule so hard at this.

Solaris17 · May 16, 2012, 07:55 PM

i love mushkin. every stick of ram i have from them i want to cuddle and make out with.

sneekypeet · May 16, 2012, 08:02 PM

and you left out Gskill which was what started all this

95Viper · May 16, 2012, 08:03 PM

You did not have G.Skill (not an oldie), so I voted "other".

I did use OCZ, but, it was finicky; so I switched to G.Skill and have not a complaint or regret.

Edit: sneekypeet, beat me to it.

Oh, I see what Frick did! I object, your honor... the poll is rigged!

The quoted evidence from here:

i remember hearing about that some years ago. w1zzard i believe tried to explain it but i never paid much attention.

dark2099 · May 16, 2012, 08:25 PM

I'd guess that "other" is counted always as a 0 answer, so it based off the rest.

Looks to be based off of the # of people that vote and not the total number of votes. All of those categories had 1 vote each and there were 3 voters. so 33.33. The math must not agree much with multiple answer polls lol.

Oh shoot i was sure i put it there. it's geil's fault.

happita · May 16, 2012, 09:24 PM

Im gonna predict right now that Other will be the majority winnar

EarthDog · May 16, 2012, 09:44 PM

Patriot, Geil, Other.

I dont give a hoot about 24/7 ram... for benching ram, I just want to know what IC's the sticks have. PSC FTW on IB!

lucas4 · May 16, 2012, 09:44 PM

I recently switched to Elixir for my main computer and use Patriot in the spare/other computer.
Had loads of Corsair in the past along with a kit of G.Skill.

Jizzler · May 16, 2012, 10:33 PM

At home I have a lot of G.Skill, some OCZ, Corsair. In servers I've used a lot of Crucial and Kingston.

In the past I've used Mushkin and whatever I've harvested from old machines - Super Talent and other.

Arctucas · May 16, 2012, 10:46 PM

I selected all seven brands that I currently have, even though I am not using most of them.

FordGT90Concept · May 16, 2012, 11:02 PM

Kingston is pretty much all I use. Not a single bad stick or motherboard incompatibility, ever. I've used Corsair, Samsung (RDRAM), and OCZ. Forgot to check Samsung.

Soylent Joe · May 16, 2012, 11:56 PM

I have G. Skill in basically all of my computers and have had excellent experience with them. If at all possible I'll always go with them. Memory when not overclocking is one of those things where brand doesn't really matter. If it works, it works.

Sinzia · May 17, 2012, 12:18 AM

Sammy in my notebook (8 GB 'green' DDR3) and Kingston 16 GB in my desktop.

Why? Cause I've never had Kingston not be recognized, and its -always- on the qualified memory list!

micropage7 · May 17, 2012, 12:30 AM

i use Team memory, since when i bought PhenomII the DDR3 memory kinda hard to find here the only that in stock is Team, and so far im pretty satisfied with their performance

I agree with Mushkin bit

Ive used Mushkin, Crucial, Kingston, Corsair, GSkill.

Ill just say however if Value series ram can overclock like a SOB n stay cool then it should be proof of quality for the higher end models
