Which companies do you use when you buy RAM? Which have burned you the most with bad RAM and lack of support?

I almost always get Corsair ValueSelect. Never had a problem. There's lots of other good brands, and a few bad ones. I've had alot of trouble with Kingston flash cards at work, it's a different line than RAM, but there's enough other choices.

I always just buy the cheapest I can find. The way I figure, its cheaper to replace the RAM after a year or so (by which time it'll have come down in price anyway) than it is to buy good quality RAM first time round.

Kingston is pretty safe choice.

Corsair, Kingston, OCZ, Geil, A-Data. Just look at the best rated RAM on newegg and the brands that make those are your answer.

I've been using G.SKILL for a few years now with no problems. Good price and they look nice to boot :)

I've gone with Kingston twice and so far it's performed really well :)

Corsair. OCZ is probably the best for reaching the highest levels of performance and because of that they are not known for reliability. Corsair tends to wait a little longer to release a sticks at new speed and latency for the sake of reliability.
