Corsair builds there own RAM... You have NO IDEA what you are talking about...

Corsair is much better than Crucial.
 
Hey read http://www.houseofhelp.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=146
and count how many people posted that they got bad ram from corsair.

Yes Cosair sells DRAM Memoy modules for computers, i know. The only thing i was trying to say was:
Corsair does NOT manufacture DRAM. they buy DRAM (some of there ram uses Hynix IC's) and put it on a PCB board. it says right on the corsair website they ASSEMBLE moduels. Meaning they put the ram on the PCB board and then sell the finished product. Nowhere does it say they manufacture DRAM.

here are the top 5 manufacturers of dram in the world, as you can see corsair is not one of them (because they dont manufacture DRAM). http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/07/29/q2_world_dram_maker_chart/

I dont know what you mean buy "build" though, if you manufacture then your the one that dosent know what your talking about. if by build you mean assemble modules and sell them, i never said cosair didnt.

**Post a link to a legit site with benchmark scores of Crucial Ballistix memory VS Corsair XMS series and prove its better. Ballistix is my choice for memory. Although if Corsair XMS was faster less expensive/same price and more reliable i would buy that.


if you dont know how ram is made goto.

Goto Page to of this forum Some more iteresting aricles were posted.
 
This was the conclusion at the end of the article you posted a link to
The only memory that duplicated the Intel results on Athlon 64 was the Crucial Ballistics PC3200, based on Micron chips. Across the entire range from DDR400 to DDR514, the Ballistix performed at the same voltages and timings that it displayed on the Intel test bed. This performance reminds us that Micron memory chips are also used in OCZ 3500EB and 3700EB, which also perform as well on Athlon 64 as they do on an Intel board.

For now, we would recommend Crucial Ballistix or OCZ 3500EB/3700EB as first choice on Athlon 64 motherboards. If you prefer one of the memories using Samsung chips, then the OCZ PC3200 Platinum Rev. 2 was the only Samsung memory to work reliably at DDR500. The evidence leads us to believe that the Micron chips perform much better on Athlon 64 than Samsung chips, but this is something that will require more investigation. We are putting together a more in-depth look at the performance of a full range of memory types on Athlon 64 in an upcoming review.

At the other end of the spectrum, the only Micron entry, the Crucial Ballistix PC3200, showed the most incredible timings that we have ever seen for any memory, reaching all the way to DDR460 at 2-2-2 timings, and all the way to DDR514 at the slightly slower 2.5-2-2 timings. Needless to say, this generated the highest DDR466 and DDR500 test results that we have seen. In addition, the Crucial Ballistix was the only memory in this roundup that performed just as well on the Socket 939 platform as it did on the Intel 478.

Due to the standout performance of the Crucial Ballistix and OCZ Platinum Rev. 2, we could not choose just one of them as our Editor's Choice. They both excel in different areas, both valid from a performance standpoint, and they both stand out from a crowd of superb performers.

**At higher memory speeds Ballistix beats Corsair, Kingston, and OCZ in the benchmark scores. If you actually read the artical some of those OCZ chips use memory built by micron.

Thanks Merlin for helping me show ballistix is the best.

I thought ram was just ram, but guess I am wrong. No wonder why my computer is so damn slow even at 512mb of ram. PC133 SDRAM that is...
