    Unless the world turns upside down, I will always use Crucial. It works. Damn well. I've never had Crucial sticks disagree with each other, and they have worked in every system I've blessed them with. They've never gone through the "AMD specific" crap. The one time I got a bad DIMM from Crucial, It took the tech all of 2 minutes to set up the cross-ship, and I sent the bad stick back USPS, costing me a total of about $1.60.

      I use a stick of 256MB Crusial DDR2100+ in my Abit KG7-Raid.

      It works like a charm at the Turbo setting. There is an Ultra settings which tries to set 1-1-1 latency but that will only work on Corsair DDR-RAM (Think I read that on HardOCP).

      I guess Corsair is the best available, but also very expensive and can't be bought retail in Denmark...

          Of those, Crucial no doubt.
          Mushkin is all about marketing.. insanely overpriced with negligable extra value over other good memory.

          Its too bad Kingmax doesn't have BGA DDR ready yet, since their TinyBGA sdram rocked the house.

            I voted Mushkin at this point for two reasons:

            1. Almost always wins in benchmarks
            2. Best customer service.

            They are a tad more expensive but it is just about worth it when comparing everything. Admittedly, I have never used Corsair though. Haven't had any problems with crucial memory I have and I am mixing Mushkin/Crucial right now.
