Hypertec DRAM 2 GB PC2-5300

Advantages: Will do 1200MHz at 5-5-5-15 2.4V on suitable board, lifetime warranty
Disadvantages: Buying a few GB's will still cost you

...Very good memory that works beyond spec! It will do 1200MHz at 5-5-5-15 on a suitable stable motherboard with ~2.4V VDIMM and retain stability. 4-4-4-4 at 1000MHz can also be achieved. Looks wise its give or take one way the same as many of its competition but the good thing is that Crucial has excellent customer support and offers free shipping via its website. The heatspreaders on the modules themselves never get hot, barely warm. As many others, lifetime warranty is also included. Micron produces the chips themselves, a parent company of Crucial. Micro also sells their chips to others such as Corsair and OCZ who fabricate RAM under their own brand. I've had quite a few of these Ballistix DIMM's through my hands now and not one has yet failed on me.... Read review

Advantages: Very Fast..Great Value For Money
Disadvantages: None =D

...- - - Corsair Value Select DRam 2 GB PC2-5300 - - - If your looking to upgrade your system and not raid the bank, The Corsair Value Select DRAM 2 GB PC2-5300 is a great piece of kit. With 2 modules of ram each with 1024 Megabytes of Ram (2 x 1Gb) with Speeds Up To 667 Mhz, This upgrade is fantastic for any computer user that wants to multitask and use memery hungry applications. I bought this ram for £65 a month ago but i'm sure you can get this cheaper. The Ram was very easy to install, I opened my case, found the two 240-pin DIMM Slots, pushed down both of the safty caches and slotted in both of the modules making sure i didn't touch any part of the chips on the Ram which may make it unusable due to static electricity in the skin. If you are going to install the Ram yourself I recommend that you invest in an anti... Read review

Advantages: Extremely fast, boosts overclocking, lots the part, great manufactures,
Disadvantages: Runs hot, dosent like additional voltage

...Quick Summary + Runs fast, overclocks well, looks nice, great RMA service, uses the fabled micron chips, boosts CPU overclocking. -Runs hot, dosent like above recommended voltages. The orange color may not appeal to all. Full review Wow. What great ram :D I recently upgraded my Gaming pc for my brother. It was his birthday so I decided to spend slightly more than I would have, and got him this instead of some Patriot ram. Im very glad I did. Ultra stable and has boosted his FPS tremendously through both the actual speed increase and from the unlocking capabilities it has given him in overclocking his CPU. Only problem with this set is that they do NOT like having extra voltage pumped through them. From a technical perspective you cannot blame Crucial. Above 2.4v the Ram starts to disintergrate. This is NOT to do... Read review
