Kingston Value Ram?
Hi,
I've seen a lot of people here saying Kingston RAM is good, especially if you are not overclocking. I was going to purchase some from mwave but it says Value Ram. Is that same RAM everyone is referring to? TIA

Thanks for the quick replys bailey and Redo40. I'm getting it then, it's about $30 cheaper than crucial for 512K.

Value Ram is what I usually order from mwave. According to Kingston, every module is 100% tested prior to shipment. I've never had a problem with Kingston. I consider Crucial and Kingston to be about the same.

Thanks LawyerRon, that makes me feel better, it's at a really good price now for the PC2700.

This thread made me take another look at RAM. I'm considering the Crucial 512 PC2700 so I compared it to the Kingston. From newegg I see these:
KINGSTON KVR333X64C25/512 512MB 32x64 PC2700 DDR RAM CRUCIAL MICRON 512MB 64x64 PC 2700 DDR RAM - OEM About $16 difference. I notice the Kingston is 32X64 and the Crucial 64X64. What does this mean and is it significant? Thanks. |

The kingston value ram also has a lifetime guarentee which is good. I built my grandmother's computer with it and it's been working great.

I believe it means the 64x64 has 8 chips and the 32x64 has 4 on the module. I think I was told the fewer the chips on the module the better, but maybe someone who has a better handle on this could answer the question.
