Andro1d Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 I am upgrading from 2GB of RAM to 4GB total. I am going to completly replace what I have and add 2x2GB sticks.I have the following in mind, but not sure which one you guys think is best. Don't really want to go over 50 bucks. None of the ones I picked do with rebates.G.SKILL 1G.SKILL 2Patriot ViperCORSAIR XMS2Thanks again for all your input! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rhema7 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 CORSAIR has the better rep I have never heard of the others before. If you can get a good warranty on the with the cheaper one the it may be worth it. If you want cut your risk CORSAIR is the way to go. Expensive yeah but it buys piece of mind. I personally would try the inexpensive stuff but I would never advise anyone to do so.Preston Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 They are all alright. I'd go Corsair XMS2 though. I have this in my rig but it's slower timings. Doesn't bother me a bit though. Not noticeable enough to justify spending more on the other memory in my personal opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andro1d Posted December 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Well the Corsair is only 39 bucks after rebate and they are pretty reputible, so I might just end up going with that.The other companies are also known in the gaming community, all the RAM I posted is gaming RAM.Thanks again so far for your input!

jimras Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I put in my vote for Corsair, too. That is what I used in my rebuild last summer and I am very happy with it. I also bought it with a nice rebate on 2 GB and a month laterthey ran the special again (at Tiger Direct) so I bought another 2 GB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andro1d Posted December 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I think I am leaning towards the Corsairs.Is the 2.1 volts on them though going to make any difference? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
