    Crucial
    Gskill
    Corsair
    OCZ

    All good and reputable brands. I am personally using OCZ Reaper 800 MHz, overclocked to 960MHz @ 2.25v. The documentation on the memory said it is stable to 2.2v, but I have not had a problem in the 2 years of owning the sticks. Very dependable, great overclocking and stability. I HIGHLY recommend OCZ Reaper memory from years of personal experience.

    This is what I'm using... No problems so far... OCZ is also good.

    fml...punkbuster is kicking me for a corrupted memory error. I just sent an RMA request direct to patriot as newegg no longer sells the sticks and does not allow RMA on purchases over 90 days. 7/15/08 I think is a little over 90 days from 12/6/2009 no? :3 :5

    I was getting a corrupted file/memory issue earlier on my newly purchased Steam copy of BF2. Turns out I needed to check the consistency of my steam files because apparently there really was a corrupt file.

    interesting....what was the number and how did you fix the corrupted file?

    I don't recall the number, but I had Steam run an integrity check and it replaced 4 or 5 files.

    Re: My RAM is dying...alternatives?

    I am specking out for a new build with DDR3 RAM and a MOBO to handle it and I have narrowed it down to these 3 possibilities:

    OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Voltage Desktop Memory Model OCZ3G1600LV6GK ~$150

    CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TR3X6G1600C8D ~$254

    CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model TR3X6G1600C8 G ~$175

    Edit: OCZ 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model OCZ3X1600R2LV6GK ~$165 hell, I'll through this one in as well as its better than the two other Corsair's in terms of what I get for the price.

    For the life of me, I CANNOT find a difference with these different sets of RAM other than the price, and one is made by OCZ (the cheaper one). Right now, I am leaning towards the OCZ stuff, but I want to make sure that I am not missing something HUGE.

    They are all x58 and core i7 compatible. What gives
