I meant RAM you'd actually put in your system, like this.

Well, the pricewatch link is for samsung, which I would have no problem with.

Having worked for nearly 20 years in the computer industry, I am of the opinion that Premium memory is a scam. I have built dozens of computers using generic ram, and have NEVER had a ram failure. There are only a handfull of companies who really make the ics to begin with. I am not saying that there is not bad ram out there. I used to see shady dealers selling re-stamped ram that sucked, but that was years ago.

Also, Rambus memory is a complete scam. One of the reasons I dont recomend intel precessors to anybody. They jumped on rambus bandwagon, and then found it offered no improvment on performance whatsoever. I got to work with some of the first rambus machines off the line, the client I support bought thousands of the damn things for a premium, and we are already salvaging them as fast as we can.
