OCZ or Corsair?

The OCZ is better ram by far. Corsair just tends to get the nod simply because of it's brand recognition. Besides, the Corsair is not TCCD, which is exactly what you need to be looking at for an Athlon 64 system. Besides, the Corsair version of TCCD ram would be the Corsair PC 3200XL.

Excuse me sir, but the link he listed shows the XL version of Corsair's memory which uses Samsung TCCD chips. The "XLPT" just means XL Platinum heatspreader. Either brand would work for you, just your choice. I know for a fact that OCZ uses brainpower PCB's which bring you better performance in overclocking

So I think I will get them, plus OCZ sounds like a cool name.
Don't choose RAM because you like the name of it.

thats tccd get it
OCZ is the King of Ram, and there arent many companies even close
Why do people think Corsair is so good, i have no idea. I have never thoght they were good. They have bad engineers and have bad timings on memeory which cant compete with OCZ
Corsair is ran by there reputation which is 3 years old
This is why I choose OCZ on all my systems

I wanted to spend under £200 (Pounds) for 1Gb of nice ram.
It looks like the OCZ is the best one for me. But the corsair stuff I found had low timings, it had 2-2-2-5 and the OCZ had 2-2-3-5.
So even though the Corsair has better timings OCZ is the better ram?
