I currently have 512mb of PC3200 Kingston ram (Not sure what type of Kingston ram, I just know it is Kingston). Well I'm looking to buy a 1 gig stick so that I have 1.5 gigs of ram. I have a budget of 85$ shipped and I've pretty much narrowed it down to 3 options. I'd really appreciate some advice, thanks.

True. But isn't that somewhat of a silly reason to just go with the Kingston? I'm sure there won't be any compatibility problems if I mix Corsair and Kingston together for example. I just want to get the best ram possible in this case, all while respecting the budget I set of course.
I have no problem with Kingston. I just don't want to miss out on better ram/a better choice simply because my computer currently has Kingston ram in it. So please, keep the suggestions coming you guys. I really am torn and have no idea as to which I should get.

I don't know, it seems like a good purchase but I'd have to consult with my parents. I'd also like to get some more second opinions on the matter, is the extra 4.50 worth it?

If it turns out I can't get it (since my parents will be purchasing the ram) which would you guys reccomend otherwise? Of the lower-end options I posted.
 
Anyone? Cmon guys I need to purchase this as soon as possible.. I'd appreciate any advice, anything at all.
 
just go with the kingston, make it all the same brand.

All three you posted are very comparable, it wont really matter.
 
I'm really leaning torward the Corsair And Kingston ValueRam. I like the Corsair ram, it has tons of great reviews. But I dont want any incompatibility problems since I already have "generic" Kingston ram in my computer at the moment.
