At PC2100 it's probably not going to matter much. Brand names tend to only make a difference at the bleeding edge.

At least that's my feeling.

I got CompUSA's generic brand for my laptop cause it was on sale. Works fine.

Where i buy my computer junk theres a 15$ price difference between brand names like Kingston and generic like SuperTalent.

They both come with lifetime warrenties, so I dont see how brand name would be any better.

So there really is no downside to getting the cheapest ram that has lifetime warrenty except that I may have to send it in more often?

RAM doesn't generally go bad very often. Everyone offers lifetime warranties because they don't expect anyone to use them.

Exactly Bahd.

And if it does go bad, see how easy it is (isn't) to hold them to the warranty. Electronic manufaturers are notorious for not making good on a warranty, or making the implementation of the warranty so onerous, that people just usually give up.

I mean really, if your memory goes bad, and the warranty says they can take 3-6 months to replace it.. are you actually going to wait that long?
