I'm pretty much ready to order my new PC, I just need to choose the RAM. I wanted to go with the Corsair 2GB XMS2 6400, but they seem to have the tendency to die alot according to the reviews on newegg.
So right now, I'm looking to order a 4x1GB kit, and since I can only order from Amazon (International shipping), I've narrowed down my choices into those 2 models:
2x Mushkin HP2-6400 DDR2 2GB Kit
http://www.amazon.com/Mushkin-HP2-6400-DDR2-2GB-Kit/dp/B000UCZJ90/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/103-7950809-0407825?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1193522325&sr=8-2
OCZ Platinum 4GB Kit 800MHZ DDR2
http://www.amazon.com/OCZ-OCZ2P8004GQ-4GB-800MHZ-DDR2/dp/B000UY1JD8/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3/103-7950809-0407825?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1193522981&sr=8-3
The board I ordered is an Abit IP35. I want something stable before anything else, as I don't care for overclocking or faster timings much. I wanted to get G.Skills as everyone seems to be praising them, but sadly they are not available at Amazon. I have heard that OCZ used to had some issues in the past, but recently their products got better. Haven't heard much about Mushkin, so I'd like to hear some opinions.
Thanks in advance. :)
