    G.Skill are good overclockers. Gigaram I have never heard of sorry. OCZ is also very good and are the choice of enthusiasts everywhere and have a very good reputation. I'd go G.Skill but that's coz I love OC'ing. But for good reliable RAM with good aftermarket support go for the OCZ.

    Crucial and Kingston are also pretty reliable as well. But if you are selecting between Gskill and OCZ, I would recommend OCZ. Jammer summed up the advantages of OCZ pretty well.

    Gigaram is one of the worst brands that I have heard of. Many people have received bad RAM and had to send back, just to get more bad RAM. I would stay away from Gigaram. Go with the OCZ. :)
