    I'm using Corsair Dominator RAM in my desktop. It's worked fine.

    I'm probably buying some dominator RAM to replace my shitty Crucial RAM (3 of my original 4 sticks have died....within 4 months)

    Corsair here, as well. Some high performance, low latency (=moar expensive, but not actually much better; next time around it's plain old standard RAM) PC3200 modules from around mid-2004.
    The ones with the hilarious status indicator LEDs. :D

    At least one module out of one of my two pairs (2x512MB each) died last week, though.
    Well, I hope it was the RAM since the alternatives would be the motherboard or the MMU.

    I've had great experiences with OCZ and Mushkin memory. However, I've recently had to RMA both sticks of brand-spanking-new 2GB kit from Kingston.

    But it was sooo cheap! It was like 40 USD for 2 GB of DDR2-800 CAS4-4-4-12...looked amazing, but the memory keeps dying, and then manifests itself as a driver crash (nvlddmkm crashed but has successfully recovered blah blah)...

    I've got some old OCZ Performance DDR1 sticks in my thing.

    Went from 400MHz to ~440MHz just fine (I think the actual max is 438MHz).

    I've heard that Corsair is great stuff, too, but I've never owned any, so I'll just keep my mouth shut.

    I use generic brand RAMs. RAM isn't bottlenecked, so why bother getting performance brand?
