    Hey People,
    I'm making up a new rig and was wondering how people decide on which RAM to go for I'd like some fairly fast stuff and of course there is plenty of choice and I was wondering how people decide which company to go for. Obviously we have Corsair, OCZ, Crucial and so on but what are peoples experiences with various companies are there and major practical differences it'd be nice to know before I spend 500 quid on the stuff.

    Opinions anyone

    Personally I prefer OCZ - since I've always had great experiences with them, and their support forums are excellent.

    Personally I'd go with Crucial always reliable in my experience.

    Low latency stuff is really just a luxury and doesn't make that much of a difference with DDR-2 unless your out to win synthetic benchmarks.

    I'd prioritise capacity over everything else e.g get 2GB DDR-2 of anything which is really what makes the most difference.
