I've checked the prices of most of the differant "performance-ddr" memory manufacturers/assemblers, and I would like to know your all's opinion on which would be best buy.
512MB (1 DIMM)
Corsair XMS C2-Series (2-3-3-6) - $128 (AccuPC.Com)
Corsair XMS LL-Series (2-3-2-6) - $156 (NewEgg.Com)
Crucial PC3200 (CL 3) - $95 (Crucial.Com)
GeIL Golden Dragon (2-3-3-6) - $100 (IBuyXG.Com)
GeIL Ultra-Series (2.5-3-3-6) - $ 87 (IBuyXG.Com)
KingMax PC3200 (CL 2.5) - $85 (Komusa.Com)
Kingston HyperX (2-3-2-6) - $109 (IBuyXG.Com) (next lowest - $124 @ AccuPC.Com)
OCZ EL DDR (2-3-2-6) - $135 (GameVE.Com)
OCZ EL DDR Platinum-Series (2-3-2-5) - $145 (IBuyXG.Com)
Mushkin Best-Buy Series (2.5-4-4) - $105 (BestBuy.Com)
BestBuy Series - Early Batch Black-Line PC3200, using high timings (2.5-4-4) but same chips as Black-Line (so should be capable of 2-3-2).
(What Chips did the very first Mushkin PC3200 Black-Line use? Did they use WinBond BH-5 chips? If so, then good deal?)
2x256MB (2 DIMM)
Mushkin Black-Line Level 2 (2-2-2) - $148 (Mushkin.Com)
Mushkin Black-Line Level 1 (2-3-2) - $128 (Mushkin.Com)
2x512MB (2 DIMM)
Corsair XMS C2-Series (2-3-3-6) - $260 (NewEgg.Com)
Kingston HyperX (2-3-2-6) - $248 (AccuPC.Com)
I've just gathered this list to try to find out which is best memory for it's price. These prices are current as of noon today (Sunday, 8-3-03). Some prices (mostly those at Mushkin.Com) will not be current later this week (after today), so if anyone on today can help me decide which one to buy
