Well.it sounds like you wanna be the value shopper. You always get what you pay for. I have never had a Kingston stick go bad on me. But of course, ive nevert bought DFI, Iwill, PcHhips, or anything less than Gigabyte or Asus. So, why go down a floor or two with other peices? It deos not make sense. If your gonna build a racer, dont get some new name on the block. GO for tried, trued and tested.

Pretty well fighting words throwing DFI in with those other two......

DFI was building quality enthusiast boards years before Giga or Asus had even an inkling of allowing users to change anything other than the most basic of settings in their bios. :)

LOL, im sorry, but hey, its all SAND one way or another. Anyhoo, I will always stand what I say, I do remember the days when DFI boards used to 'flex' around the ram bays. And Break. So, I been around the block before, but ill battle you, but only with K-Tel:P

the previous owner of mobo i am using, used g.skill to best of my knowledge ...
but i just was wondering why such price difference..chances are g.skill uses kingston rebranded aswell, no?
are the other 3 brands really that much better?
and just say you could not find Kingston,what would be you next choice?

thank you for the info

Wel............. I geuss there must be like a NCIX rep sponsoring this site and smurfing....................
Anywhere you go, anytime, Kingston will beat Mushkin, or whatever neato name there is out there. Names come and go. Kinda like the companies that do your roofs? Or the mechanics that do your brakes? THey come and go. BUt, Kingston always has been there. Realize that.

BTW, Geuyss that smurf dont like Gigabyte. And, I do remember days when Gigabyte sucked, and Asus had 'bad' bios. I used to run networks and build PC from the days of Office 95 for fracks sakes. I know Hardware, and I know OS. I know crap that you dont knoiw unless you are into Ultra10SCSI RAID servers frim the days of NT 4.0 for !@#$ER% wsakes. I rememver the days of the 440 BX. MY first PC was a DX-66. I even seen a debate if 3.11 was on CD LoooL. CRAP. Google it if you have ti debate it!. JEDEC RAM? @!#$% WHAY you all debate what a good build is? Ask a grid manager if your machine is worthy? Can you RUN crysis? Quit QQ, OMG, can I run Crysis QQ? QQ! QQ~!~~~~

BTW, ram is kinda like the manufacturer, if they make their own engine, and htey are name kinda strage like YUGO, or HUYUNDAI, or maybe even the Mushkin 2 + 2 lOl, I think, your in for hard times when your 'timings' go out, and you bought into a company that has been around for like a 'blink' in computer ages>
