I like Kingston and Crucial... I have used both.

I prefer "Infineon", but it is not on your list :-/ .
The problem with infenion is that it is expensive, but I come to believe that it is worth the extra-money.
If you have the money to spend do not go for OEM better get yourself a piece of "brand-ware" (I don't know the word for it :-/ ), and enjoy the better performance ;-) .

Yeah those are the top two, can't go wrong with either one.

Kingston is my choice too. But I'd go for OCz if was deeper into overclocking.

[SCgone]

Crucial is my choice. Be aware that Kingston makes different classes of ram. I've had problems with their Valueram, which I suspect comes from whatever lowest bidder they find.

[JCARES]

Yeah Kingston make differents Ram types, ValueRam is a low cost Ram but with Latencies biggers = system slower
Try using Kingston HyperX RAM it makes the difference... and let you made a high overclock (on a mobo suporting OC)

I have both a Kingston and a Crucial in my computer right now. No problems at all.

Kingston, Crucial are good and well-known.
Meanwhile, G. Skill would be a very interesting choice and would bring you much amazement if you have a chance to try it.

i dont overclock my ram. i just have a gig of PNY ram. ive never seen the significance of having a better brand of ram just because it has some fancy LED's on it or heatspreader that u could buy seperatly for 3$.. but i trust kingston
