i'm seeing some good reviews for the wintec and am about to go for that unless y'all have any comments on the superiority of kingston...

I don't know anything about the wintec but I just know I have one of those sticks in the Pentium 4 rig in my sig, and it works flawlessly at its rated speed and tight 2-2-2-5 timings at 133mhz. Kingston RMA service and warranty are also without complaint as well, as I got a new stick (I purchased the kingston stick from best buy and was defective) within 2 days.

i bought 2 of the wintec 512 sticks.
isnt bad did 214 3.0-3-3-5 but wouldnt run cas 2.5 with dual sticks but single sticks would.niether liked voltage being added and had elixer ic's on them.
look at the adata they have also.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820211119

just to be sure, the elixer chips are the lesser chips right? anyone else have any experience with the wintecs? -has anyone ever gotten hynix chips on wintecs?

:shrug:


EDIT: which seems to be the better buy? which would y'all go for? i'm kinda leaning toward the kingston right now even though i have to deal with a rebate...

[zer0nix]

oh what the hell... i'm gonna buy the kingston because i see that name a lot around here and attached to some pretty sweet clocks (imho)... here's to hoping it's good stuff -and that i get my rebate check :D

[deathstar13]

i hate rebates,id rather pay the full price rather than wait 3 months to get money in the mail.

id skip the wintecs if you want ocing.elixer has never been known for ocing well.

my kvr has samsung tccc chips and will do 250-260. it's always a crapshoot with valueram but i would say go with the kingston stuff and hope for some luck.
