In servers I almost always use Kingston due to the long term reliability and MTBF compared to faster more "bleeding edge" memory manufacturers catering towards short-lifespan home machines.

In my home machines / workstations I've been using Corsair and been very pleased.

Re: Whats your favority brand of memory?

I've been doing alot of research on memory for an upgrade I'm planning on doing.

I have also decided to go with Corsair.

I noticed you don't carry that product line yet...

I got an extra 512 MB of RAM from Corsair sent to me and I love it. I really don't know enough about RAM to compare it with anything, but the improvement I've seen from what I got has been awesome.

Re: Whats your favority brand of memory?

Axiom has been a good one to use for me in high performance builds, but I find that most 6 layer PCB, CAS 2.5 or less DDR SDRAM runs about the same if you are not O/C'd.

Kingston is definitely the long term reliability leader. The other companies tend to sacrafice EM shielding and see a lot more bleed-over than Kingston, which produces some interesting memory faults at higher timings and clock.

Re: Whats your favority brand of memory?

My favourite brand is whatever is hot at the moment I'm buying. If it's cheap and has good performance, then that's my favourite. I am no slave to any brand.

I need to add a lot to my site. I have a lot of connections in the memory industry and should be able to get a good price on all memory. If you have a part number or description I can get you a price.

Yep. I'm not interested in overclocking at all, so I just look for the cheapest memory that will allow my computer to run reliably at stock speeds.
