Question I need more RAM! Which brand?

Corsair? Kingston? Crucial?
Does anyone have experience with any of these? Thanks.

kingston's in mine, but just as long as it matches your motherboard reqs, any brand should do - check with a Best Buy Geek if you are not sure

I'd agree, any brand would generally be fine.

Suggest 18004memory and crucial.

Memory prices can vary a lot between stores but as long as you're making sure you buy the right one for your PC, you should be fine.

i use kingston... just as important however, is that you make sure that you buy the same speed RAM that is in your machine already (unless you're removeing the existing), or the memory will run at the slowest of the 2 speeds.

A very valid and often overlooked observation.

I've had good luck with all three brands. As long as it's made for your motherboard, you should be fine.
