KingMAX memory does NOT work at the specified ratings - stay VERY clear from them.
Kingston seems to be THE best ram.
People that say corsair is for overclocking are idiots. Corsair ram is already overclocked. i.e. When I bought my pc start of year, $180 AU for 256mb DDR 400 kingston with Winbond BH-5 chips (w00t!

), or $240 AU for 256mb corsair xms 3200... which is actually pc2700 overclocked..... i cant remember the price of the corsair XMS 3500 but remove the heatspreader and you'll find the Winbond bh-5 chips which are rated for 3200 (ddr 400). Now corsair do test their ram first so it will work at the speed which they rate it for, but you can't really push it any further, and it's damn expensive.
