If you're going to do a poll add Corsair. As to ur question I only know Crucial and Kingston and I'd say go Crucial. But to be honest that info is from 2 years ago and I've been reading good things about Kingston lately. Atm I use Corsair.

When it comes to Kingston and Crucial, you are buying the memory module (PCB) from them. The actual DRAm that is on the PCB could very well be Infineon, Samsung, Hynix, etc. There are very few actual DRAm makers now a days. They are however a lot of memory module makers that use the DRAM chips from the few suppliers. Other DRAM companies include Nanya, ProMos, Mosel Vitalic, Elipida.

If you are looking for the most stable DRAM, go with Samsung, as they are by far the leader in DRAm technology.

Also, every DRAm player produces tier 1, teir 2 and tier 3 DRAM. Tier 1 going mainly to the OEM's and the other ending up in the spot market at times.

The best module memory maker in my opinion is Kingston. Their modules are usually the cleanest.

There are a lot of factors when picking a module maker like Kinston, Crucial or Corsair, because unless you know what DRAM is on the PCB, you really don't know what you are getting. Kingston is pretty good about using qualified parts though.

Just my 2 cents.

I upgraded one PC from 128 to 256 to 768 to 1.024 and all modules were Samsung. They are OEM specs. Of the 3 you mentioned, I also would go with Kingston, then Crucial.

My choice would be Kingston, Crucial and then Infineon.

Keep in mind it isn't just the memory brand but the C level as well. If you look at the part numbers you will see C25, C3, etc. The lower the number the better the modules.

1 : Kingston
2 : Crucial
3 : Infineon

That's definitly the order, although Kingston and Crucial are rather close, as sayed above, meke sure if you've already got RAM in there, that you get the same brand. Also Samsung is a very good one if you can find it.
