best brand for RAM

[profdlp]

...Paying a little more for RAM might not get you better quality, but sometimes you get a better warranty with it...

...the most important thing when purchasing memory is visit your mobo site and get their "recommended QVL" for memory...

Sums up my feelings on the subject.

I have used Crucial for years. They are part of Micron who manufactures the chips. On their web site there is a search feature and it will match the ram to your motherboard and they guarantee it will work.

I've heard the Samsung kit are slower than a Corsair kit for exactly the same specs...i used Corsair one and actual Hynix kit dual channel DDR3.

Corsair doesn't make IC's. Which particular IC's vendors like Corsair use varies from kit to kit. Sometimes Corsair uses Hynex, sometimes they use Samsung or Infineon. You can never tie one particular IC maker to one vendor, because they're always changing which IC's they use.

CL stand s for Cas Latency Raiden's Realm: Obtaining the Highest RAM Performance - Frequency vs Latency Here's more information. Fabe

 

[Wishmaster]

CL is the Latency.


The lower the number the better.


Although theres likely not much of a difference in realworld use.

**Edit .. theFabe beat me to it. Im a bit too slow again
