What mark is your ram/memory?!

OK guys!I'm with Studio 1535 and strangely for me with:
2 GB Kingston
1 GB Sam sung

It little confusing me, because on Dell Web my notebook appears as only 2 GB Kingston.

But Kingston is very good ram mark.
Samsung is wide used by HP.
So I guess they both are very good!In my eyes Kingston is better but Sam sung is not bad too. (I doubt my samsung blank little overheat but I don't have issues with my ram till now, so...)

yours?

 

my thinkpad has 2gb samsung + 2gb crucial

 

i have studio 15 and both of my ram are hyundai electronics 2gb ram, which in my opinion isnt as good as kingston or samsung

 

Ya i got 2 gb haundai and 1gb haundiai in my studio. Why did dell get so cheap with the ram in the studio 15.

 

Right now in my Studio 1535, I have 4GB (2x2GB) of Kingston HyperX PC2-5300/667MHz DDR2 RAM, with 4-4-4-12 latencies. They perform quite nicely, I must say.

Of course, that was a custom upgrade on my part. Let me go see if I can find the original sticks that came with the laptop...

The laptop originally came with 3GB (2GB+1GB)...looking at the sticker, apparently it's Hynix brand, never heard of that. According to their website, they used to be known as Hyundai Electronics.

There's nothing wrong with that brand. It performs reliably and has never caused me any problems. Besides, Dell would just lose money if they invested in putting Kingston, Corsair, or OCZ RAM into every laptop they make, especially when your average user won't notice the difference.

 

I had 512 mb hynix in my ASUS EEE 4G!

*I have 4GB (2x2GB) of Kingston HyperX PC2-5300/667MHz DDR2 RAM - very impressive.Sadly custom upgrade!

By the way my notebook is made in Ireland.I think it has matter...

By the way all HP's till now ( my brother has,my father,and I had) are with Samsung memory!

By the way A-data is not as good as Kingston (Kingston is better) but look at prices in my country:
*the prices are in "lv" - 1 lv ~ 1,5 $

2GB DDR2 667 A-DATA SODIMM 25.27 30.50 27.30 33.00
2GB DDR2 800 A-DATA SODIMM 34.37 41.00 36.97 44.50
2GB DDR2 667 SUPER T SODIMM 36.11 43.50 39.00 47.00
2GB DDR2 667 KINGSTON SODIMM 25.27 30.50 27.44 33.00
2GB DDR2 800 KINGSTON SODIMM 26.86 32.00 29.32 35.00

Anyway for regular user IMO Kingston is absolutely the best choose!

 

There's only 4 or 5 companies that make the RAM ... providing to all of the other memory companies.

In a laptop that doesn't support overclocking, as long as the memory works, there really aren't any "better" or worse brands ... at least in my opinion.

 

Exactly. RAM speed is going to be limited by what your chipset supports. In my case, that's PC2-5300/667MHz. Anything faster would just underclock itself. The only real improvement you can get is with the CAS timings/latencies, which is why I opted for the Kingston HyperX memory, because it was the only notebook memory of this speed I could find with 4-4-4-12 latency instead of 5-5-5-15. Obviously, the difference is minimal, but I like to squeeze the most out of everything.

 

Guys I think the question here comes to quality ram - like errors and other stuffs.
Mastershroom is right, the speed is limited and memory name in this case doesnt matter.
I still prefer Kingston anyway

 

Yeah, Kingston definitely has a good solid track record of reliability. I use Kingston memory in my custom desktop as well. It's good quality, hasn't let me down, and not too expensive.
