Im looking for 1 gig of ram, for a good price (not futureshop :whip: price)

Don't shoot down futureshop immediately. A couple years ago, I was looking for 256MB of SDRAM but I needed it spread out on 2 different chips to fit on my motherboard. The stupid salesperson told me their RAM was on sale, but he got confused when I asked him about putting it on 2 seperate chips and instead essentially gave me 2 256 MB chips for half the price of one. RAM at 75% off! I did have to trade those chips somewhere else to make it useful for my archaic computer, but I still walked away with the equivalent cost of 256MB in cash. |

| It depends what kind of RAM you want, what use it will have as well buddy. If you want performance RAM, I'd say OCZ is @ the top of the game in that department. For extreme gaming go with Corsair. I hope that helps :) |

I used that Kingston Memory and got similar Overclocking speeds as OCZ memory at 3x that price.
Make sure they are a matched pair and are NON-ECC (non registered) or your motherboard may not like the dimms.
Then if your board has 4 slots and supports Dual Channel Memory you must put them in slot 1 and 3 or 2 and 4.
Then your rockin!!! |

| I haven't overclocked my memory yet but I have a dual channel setup, 1GB and it's been flying for some time now :) Crucial is OK but it's not close to OCZ, Corsair or Kingston. I don't trust those little brand name companies, they just don't suit me :tongue2 |

Canada Computers: two thumbs up. I buy all my components there.
Kingston memory: generally pretty good, and you prob won't find a cheaper price than that. Go for it. Do you have a dual-channel MOBO? |
