The title says it all.

I have a new 8K3A+ mobo on the way and I'm wondering what type of memory is the best as far as performance and compatability.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Im really lovin my Corsair XMS 3000 memory. I can get it up to 380 without voltage increase. Its really good memory for your money. I have used Corsair for the last year and so far I am very happy with what it offers me.

Currently I am running one stick of Samsung 512megPC2700 at 175 FSB with an unlocked XP2200+ at 11x on an 8K3A+. No problems at all. Sandra mem bench comes in just over 2600.

That's not too shabby NascarFool.

I was leaning toward the Samsung a little before I decided to go with the Corsair. I have heard some good things about their original memmory sticks.

Just switched from a stick of 256 Kingmax to a stick of 256 Corsair xms 3000. i bought the Kingmax when it first came out i thought since it was DDR 400 it would be better and faster no way Corsair slaps it up and down and then some. CORSAIR all the way. no problems with corsair running most aggresive timings Turbo at cas 2. No way kingmax would do this.
