I Need New Ram

[UrGonnaDie]

Hello everyone,
I have probably posted this on the forums before.
I currently have a Kingston 1Gb PC-4200 DDR2 533 (KVR533D2N4K2-2G)
as this was a two gb pack i was only sold one for 1gb price (i hope)
and i would like to upgrade and get about 1 more gb of ram.
So ill be getting the same specs as best as i can as this ram is only 7 months old.

Im looking at:
KINGSTON 2GB KIT 533MHz (PC4200) DDR2 NON-ECC UNBUFFERED DIMM MEMORY KVR533D2N4K2-2G

Yet i saw a web site which said this,

ValueRAM memory by Kingston is our value-priced line of industry-standard, generic memory. ValueRAM is available for those customers who have a white box or generic computer system, or who plan to purchase memory by specification. Our ValueRAM line is designed to industry specifications, is 100% tested, carries a lifetime warranty and is available at competitively low prices.

A generic computer?! a white box, and i was like ahh crap, i have crap ram lol, so i was wondering can anyone tell me a another brand which is good and affordable.

Would u think this ram is slowing down my pc?
Core 2 Duo E6400
7600GT
320Gb Hdd

Thanks in advance

Kingston Value, Cosair Value, OCZ Value, GEIL Value and PNY Value are all about the same in performance. The difference is the cost.

Personally, as an experience computer technician and working all teh technical aspects of computers.. if your looking for a good set of 'cheaper' ram, Go one step above Value Select.. as Value Select is all teh cruminess of any type of RAM, pretty much any chip that doesnt make the cut for the higher up RAM is thrown into these modules and sold real cheap so the company can get at least some money out of them, and/or a computer vendor lookign to make as much profit off a cheap computer as possible.


If yoru looking for 1 gig of ram, or a matching 2 gig set, look at spending about 150-200ish on the set, anythign cheaper and youll notice a difference (If you have ever cmopared differences between access times on the faster vs slower specced/timed RAM modules.
