Any difference between RAMS?
-
Between Crucial and Kingston brands...?
Suppose they are same price...
Going to decide which one to buy later... -
Never heard of Crucial before.
But Kingston is a highly recommended brand. -
RAM brand doesn't matter. What matters is the number of pins, the speed that your motherboard supports and the latency if you are concerned about speed.

Don't brands help people to determine credibility and how likely the parts being used has a better chance of lasting longer, given their track record?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:RAM brand doesn't matter.

Kingston buys the DRAM chips from both Micron and Samsung -

www.crucial.com/systemscanner tells me my motherboard can use both 533 MHz and 667 MHz... but my manufacturer comes installed with only 533 MHz, and most other websites never tell me that this motherboard can use 667 MHz.... -
It determines credibility, but it doesn't determine what kind of motherboard it supports. When buying tech stuffs, you not only consider their track record, you have to consider what your equipment supports as well.Originally posted by DailyFreeGames.com:Don't brands help people to determine credibility and how likely the parts being used has a better chance of lasting longer, given their track record?
For me, track record is second. What works is most important. There's no point in getting something that doesn't work. -

Thinkpad R52Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:And your motherboard brand and model number is?
Currently at 1.73 GHz, 32kb L1, 2Mb L2, using 2 x 256 MB ram DDR PC4200
Anyway I've decided to get Crucial PC5300 ram... About 6-10 dollars cheaper per 1GB piece than the current price at sim lim. Getting 2 pieces (2GB ram) will save me 16 sgd... -
Buy a pair of crucial ballistic
