Hi All, becuase I work with computers my mates are always asking me questions but I can't answer some of them :(

Today I was asked if there was a difference in memory brands as they dont mind paying extra if it is worth it.

If the CL and spec is the same should they buy G.Skill or Geil?

Personally i have a-data because it was cheap.
Thanks for your help.
 
It's just a name....
I tend to buy Kingston due to it's life-time warrenty and the fact that they can provide memory in almost any format.
 
I tend to buy from Crucial as they seem to be the best for reliabilty, price & delivery.

But some people prefer another supplier & they may be cheaper, it’s a case of looking to see who has what your after.
 
Hi Toriel, long time no see :wave:

There will be differences in reliability, warranty, aesthetics etc... so even though it has the same specs it won't be equal. I would avoid generic brands, and pick something like Crucial myself (although I'm using Patriot memory at the moment, as it was a bargain and had some positive reviews).

If the memory has a lifetime warranty, that's a big plus point IMO :thumb:
 
The proof of the pudding lays with overclocking ;) That will sort out the men from the boys when it comes to memory.

But in general, wot Ian said, avoid most generic brands and go for a good name brand such as Corsair or Crucial.

If you can see the generic memory before purchase and it has Samsung chips (IC's) it's worth buying as Samsung make excellent memory chips (Mucks told me that one :D ).
 
I don't care who's "brand" is what ... I look at who made the chips.


As a good rule of thumb, buy Crucial or Corsair ... hell, I've bought a shed load of Kingston stuff in the past. :thumb:



It's the bloody hard drive that slows everything down. ;)
