    Ok... after some help from this board I went ahead and bought a V2000Z. I only got the 256mb memory because I was planning on upgrading with a 1gb from Newegg or somewhere else.

    After reading all these posts about OCZ ram won't boot or it won't run at the advertised speed I am confused.

    Based on all that has been said on this topic which memory should I buy? I don't care about the price either. Which is the best option based on performance AND that is going to actually work?



    OCZ 2 x 512mb?
    OCZ 1x 1gb?

    Corsair 2x512mb?
    corsair 1x1 gb?

    any other brand?

    2 x OCZ 512MB DDR400 runs at listed speed.
    Corsair runs at CAS 3 thought listed as CAS 2.5.

    I have 2x 512MB Corsair DDR400, using it for last 3 months without any problems.
