Going on my 4th set of mushkin RAM...

[BuzzKillington]

Purchased about 2 years ago now, I'm going on my third RMA...

At the time, they were the fastest 1gig sticks on the market at 4-4-3-10, 6400... this stuff is junk. Granted, they were great when they were working correctly. The best part is, is they were never OC'd.

To get to the point of this post -- I'm just curious if any of you had had similar "luck" with Mushkin?

I had one stick of DDR 400 Mushkin a few years ago that crapped out within a month. That was before I was old/wise enough to realize I could RMA it.

Other than that haven't had any other experience with them.

I had to RMA my year old Corsair DDR2-800 this past summer but had nothing but a great experience with the process. If DDR2 drops any cheaper though, it isn't going to be worth the postage to RMA it if it happens again. But Lifetime warranty is a plus regardless.

That is odd. Mushkin RAM is usually pretty reliable stuff. You OC?

pleased this has been posted, was considering getting some Mushkin RAM, want a 4G kit, but will steer clear i think.

Off topic, but any recomendations...? DDR2 800 or faster...?

[nevermind1534]

If your motherboard takes faster stuff, and you can afford it, go for it.

Everyone will have different experiences, so far my Mushkin RAM 4GB kit is running fine.

yeah, tis tru, but you said yourself that yours isnt running up to the rated spec... plus i found a cheap set of OCZ 1000 that im gonna order :)

Seems like a good deal, OCZ is a very good brand from my experience.

[nevermind1534]

I have only used OCZ in the computers that I use. I also recommend it to friends.
