    I just picked up a set of Corsair 2 x 512MB sticks and am very pleased with them. I've found that if you're running an AMD system, the Corsair works extremely well. If it's a P4 system, OCZ runs best I've found.

    Hope my two cents helps. :)

    I like corsair ...I love mushkin ...OCZ will do in a pinch AFAIK. If you're building an NF7 go with the mushkin.

    depends on whether your a64 needs ecc (registered) ram or not ...and whether you get the ecc or not. If you don't need the ecc then don't get it.

    LOL ...I've never bought ram retail so I wouldn't know ...but what you can do go to the mushkin sight and find that particular ram model number and compare it to the boxed ram at best buy and see if it is the same ...then you'd know for sure.

    so for my current a7n8x deluxe and then for a amd64 that both use non-ecc ram the mushkin is the way to go? cause the corsair it has 3.7GB bandwith while mushkin is at 3.2GB

    I say go for it ...with the nforce2 chipset mobo you will benifit with the tightest timings ...as for the a64 it depends on the chipset really but it's still excellent ram IMO.

    I run Corsair XMS 3200 512 at 2 2 2 6 stock voltages... Good stuff, after the RMA. First stick was dead. Had to rma it, second stick worked like a charm...
