    crucial, OCZ, kingston, gskill, pny, and a few others are all good.
    as with any memory, you may get faulty units from the get-go, but in this day and age it is bound to happen.
    there are plenty of people that have installed crucial in thier books, and myself, i have used OCZ for my m15x.

    Thanks for the tip! All the reviews seem good, so I wanted to make sure before I dropped another $120.

    Crucial is among the best brands of RAM available; very highly rated by gamers.

    Crucial, OCZ, Mushkin, Kingston, Patriot, GEIL, Corsair... it's all the same. any of those brands will be highly reliable and perform brilliantly.
