Corsair vs. Ocz

[nuch130]

Alright i'm about to get some memory and i'm lookin at gettin a couple 1gb sticks. So i was wondering what ya'll think would be good? I've been looking at Corsair and Ocz, let me know what ya'll think about the two and any model suggestions too.

Thanks

Since I wasn't overall impressed with my previous corsair purchase, I will tell you ocz.

Make sure you get OCZ gold though, the timings are awesome, and for the price, corsair just can't beat them.

simple put OCZ > corsair.

OCZ overall is better....better quality and better overclockers assuming you go for their high performance kits and whatnot that are made to OC.

Corsair is just a name everyone is comfortable with and purchases

Does your mobo have four identical ram slots? if so go for 4x512 mb gold edition ram.

yes it the asus a8n board

is there a specific reason you want 2gb? You one of those people that thinks "more is better?"

If you aren't doing highly intensive programs like 3d rendering or things like that, then 1gb will be all you need

so Nub your sayin the 2 gb isn't worth it? Just wanting to make sure my mmo gaming is as smooth as possible

2x 512 is all what's needed now

And 2x 512 doubble your memory bandwidth thanks to dual channel, and overclock better too FYI.

so stick with the 1gb and i should be fine with games like SWG, WoW, etc . . .
