Right now I'm looking at Corsair but is OCZ better?

Here's my rig: (soon)

Antec Performance One P180 Aluminum Mid Tower Case
AMD Athlon 64 X2 S939 4800+ (400) 2MB RETAIL
Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe NF4 S939 PCIE Motherboard
Western Digital 250GB KS 7200RPM SATA 300 16MB Hard Drive
XFX Geforce 7800GT PCI-E 256MB RETAIL
Creative Labs SB X-Fi XTREME MUSIC 24bit 7.1 Retail
Plextor PX-716SA/SW 16X DVD+/-RW RETAIL SATA
DDR Corsair 2GB (2*1024) 400fsb Cas2 TWINX -------------- This Good?
Windows XP Home

I was looking at max. $350 Canadian (no jokes please). I will OC but not crazy.
 
why do they have such wierd .com names? i cant rememeber that stuff unless i bookmark it. how did u ppl find that?
 
Im a pretty big OCZ fan myself. I have 1.5gb of Dual Channel Platinum..Pretty decent stuff. The timing speeds stock are fantastic.

I also think Corsair is good too; XMS is some good ram..I also like the little add-on meter that goes with it (cosmetic crap is great.)

-
I would say go with OCZ since I havent been let down by them (yet); but in all honesty, its to every which person on these two companies.

Support with OCZ was bad a few years ago and a lot of minor problems did exist; these days thy got their acts together and are pretty strong...


Both are reliable..So I guess its up to you. Do you do any oc'ing? Or heavy modding?

If the bias is based on personal experience then it's fine. I'm biased toward AMD because I haven't had a single problem, and they've been fine.

LOL, I am biased towards AMD because they are not Intel! Is that a good reason?
