Both are excellant brands, although PNY always seems to be higher in price.

I would recommend Kingston. I've been hearing about QC issues with PNY as of late. They seem to be having a higher failure rate than usual.

Neither company makes the actual ram chips - so the quality is dependent on who they bought that batch of chips from. I believe Kingston assembles their own modules but I don't know about PNY - they may be relabeled modules made elsewhere. The last time I looked at Kingston and PNY modules, they both had Samsung chips on them, but I've seen others.

the repackaging piece of information is very interesting... Its too bad they do that, but oh well, apparently Kingston's a more solid choice, and since both are about the same price, ill stick with it. Thanks! (although i still dont know who overclocks better :P)

Hi 9600baud,
For really good overclockable RAM, look at Corsair or Mushkin. Between Kingston and PNY, I don't know which would be better since I don't overclock...but I've used Kingston RAM in almost all my builds without any problems.  Cricket
