What's the Best Brand of Ram for a DDR PC2700 PC3200 Case

[Sound Man]

Hi

I’m in Need of ram for my Compaq Desktop Computer

I’m only Running a 256MB Stick right now

I Was told I Can run up to 2048MB as that’s what the board will hold

Now I need to use Either DDR PC2700 or DDR PC3200

But What is the Best Brand of ram to us on a Older Computer like this

I've Heard Stories of People Running a Brand and then the Computer Crashes, The Motherboard gives up etc.

I've been told

Kingston is Very good for the Money

I will be buying from Tigerdirect.ca

Here is what they have to offer

what I would suggest is to go to the Crucial site, they have a scan that will examine u're computer, and give u options on mem. and even give different brands u can purchase. Crucial makes very good ram. here is the link

also u might have to go to Compaq to get what is compactable with that computer, but I bet crucial will tell u and give recomendations.

I bought a stick of Corsair Value Select 1024mb pc3200 DDR 400mhz last night

For $38.00

Holy Sh!t Did it ever Speed it up from the 256MB Stick

I don't wait 5-10 mins anymore for things to load

I was Nervous about that Brand As I heard of Bad Things but everything is Great and fast

Can't wait to buy another 1024MB stick

Now Just need to upgrade my 60GB HardDrive and im Done
