Best Quality Ram Brand?
What is the best quality ram brand?
If you have trouble decide.... feel free to vote randomly. I bought PNY ram and it came with non-PNY brand inside. Will never deal with PNY again. ps. whats the difference between Kingston and Kingston HyperX? Last edited by HiddenStupid; Oct 14, 2007 at 12:20 AM. |

I vote Mushkin. I put my 2x512MB kit through multiple systems, shipped it all across New England, overclocked it a bit, and it's never faltered. You can't argue with durable, consistent, and reliable power.

lol, most memory chips are made by companies like micron, samsung, and elpidia. micron d9 is the best chip out there. brands like crucial and muskin contain pure micron d9's.

i am gonna have to say patriot,i had 2 512mb of pc7200 sticks that would do 560mhz benchable.they were sooo reliable and i lent them out a few times and they worked in every board.
i have had crappy luck with crucial in my p5k-premium board,two lots of ballistix pc5300 going tits up in this board,but i know crucial is good stuff. |

This isnt going to determine the best quality ram brands, only what most people own.
Example - Some memory is very popular in that generally it yields good overclocks etc. But not every user has the same experience with their memory. |

i've got patriots, great memory, but its a mix of micron d9's and elpidias, so i'd rather go with crucial since its pure micron d9. same with ocz.

I say G.Skill. They overclock great and I very rarely hear someone talk about their G.Skill RAM going bad.

![]() I do agree, but I had a stick of DDR2-800 G.Skill go bad on me with this build, the RMA was quick and painless! And I recieved the second gen batch of the phu2-2gbHZ kit, never been happier! Does DDR1000, 4-4-4-12 @ 2.15v, and is memtest stable! Couldn't be happier! My other system has cheap Mosel DDR400 1gb kit. Both kits have heatspreaders.

Crucial has probably the best quality, IMO.
However, G.Skill is pretty much just as good and usually cheaper so all my machines have G.Skill in them right now.

I voted Crucial, but I also like G.skill. Currently running Crucial Ballistix in my system, so that's the only reason it got my vote.

Bah! Mushkin Black Level II Hi Perf DDR3500 512MB/stick (not the "V2" or "special 2-2-2" stuff). Original Windond W942508BH-5 chips only. The most coveted RAM ever. No competition. ![]()
