So, I'm rebuilding my system at home. Any recommendations or warnings about brands of memory? Googling around, I see brands I've never*heard* of....
I like Crucial.
I used to use Crucial. Then I had a bunch of hard-to-diagnose issues with different systems that finally tracked down to various 'high end' Crucial Ballistix memories. Switched to Corsair for desktop stuff, haven't had any problems. Most of my servers have either OEM brand (HP, Dell, IBM) memory (often it turns out to be Hyundai or Samsung), or Kingston.
I've been lucky enough to not have many issues with memory. Most of the failures I deal with are hard drives, power supplies, and motherboards.
I have used Corsair, Kingston, G.Skill and OCZ memory.
