I would like a second opinion on what to buy.

[Ridenow]

I have the KT7A-RAID board and I have $350. My board can take 3 sticks of 512meg SDRAM, lets max it out. I am leaning towards the Corsair or Crucial. I am also looking at Kingmax and a few "Value" brands, I can get Zeus, which I have had good luck with, for $57 each.
I am willing to spend the money, if I have to, and my usage pattern would use the extra memory. I am prone to have 20 or so apps up and I do a little sound file work. I do not care if it is "overkill", the whole system is overkill. I am wanting 3 sticks of the best 512megs I can get.

What do you guys think?

I would say the corsair xms150 is the best of the 512mb memory available.
Only because not alot of the better memory's are available in 512mb.

I had noticed that.

That Corsair is at the top of my short list.

I would personally go with the crucial. I've never gotten a bad stick and the value to performance ratio is excelent

Have to go with the Corsair First then Crucial ! This is so far is a all Blue Star Thread ! Very Nice :) I just wanted to say congrats to all of you as each one of you I have learned tons from and hope to share some of the wealth back.

I'll have to ruin the all-blue thread. Sorry guys. I don't have much experience with Corsair, but Crucial has always been good to me. Crucial seems to need a extra voltage nudge to hit aggressive settings though. Don't know about the Corsair.

personally i still think that 512 of DDR at a high speed would be enough for what u do. But if you got it flaunt it. I think id get 512 or maybe 768, and spend the xtra somewhere else! Just my personal opinion, but it is you choice-Corsair does require less voltage to run at he same speed - but it is more $$$, so is Mushkin

My KT7A-R is not a DDR board, I have to have SDRAM. It also accepts upto 3 512meg DIMMs, so that is what I plan to get. I think I have spent a little money on all parts of my system and I know I am a *little* nuts. I should remake my list of components, I accedentally deleted it and it was a full page.

I was a little undecided, so I asked you guys. You are not helping much! The opinions expressed have been very balanced. Now I have to go check out Mushkin, I had forgotten them.

Still leaning towards the Corsair, but the Crusial is cheaper and the specs are real close. If someone made some nice CAS2 512 sticks I would have already ordered.

Keep the opinions comming, I appriciate it.

sorry bout that i thought i saw the kg7 not the kt7, but crucial is good, and cheap but i dont see many 512 sticks. Go for Corsair i think it is actually the cest out there. if ya wanna go real high find some Tonicom pc166, or go to the OCZ stre and get some OCZ pc180

[Cocytus]

I I had a choice I would prolly go with the corsair, I've never had any problems with it

One word.. Crusial :)

Given your choices, and the price I'd go with them, might as well get a good brand name and good price along with it.

let us know how it turns out

i have to say that i love my corsair. it has been great. it has overclocked to the moon and back. every other benchmark i have read convinced me to go with corsair.
