Notebook Ram: OCZ vs Corsair vs Kingston

I have been looking to get a couple of sticks of 1gb ram for my laptop that is being shipped to me, and I wanted to know which of these is better. OCZ is my first choice, I have some in my desktop and I like it a lot. Next I would go for Corsair I've always like their Ram. Lastly the Kingston they are also supposed to be pretty good.

Now my main question is what the difference would be between these (if any), or is it just a matter of opinion? Which would be easier as far as lowering the timings? Is it worth lowering the memory timings using a laptop?

Lastly I was wondering about this Corsair Ram, why is it so much more expensive then the others?

 

I'd go with the OCZ - it has better timings than the others, at 4-4-4-8. All the others are 4-4-4-12 or -11.

It's largely personal preference and even the timing makes only a minimal impact. All things being equal though, like price, I'd go with the OCZ in this case. I also like Crucial.

 

Personally, I've always liked Corsair memory for desktops, so I stuck with it for my laptop too. In any case, I'd go with whatever is cheapest. All three are reputable brands.

 

I prefer Kingston branded RAM when it comes down to notebooks

 

What is the difference between 4-4-4-8 and 4-4-4-12 performance wise? I am under the impression that the most significant difference is caused by the first number (CAS Latency), and even there it's marginal.

All this aside, OCZ is viewed by many as the definite leader when it comes to desktop RAM. Chances are that their laptop stuff is also great.

 

OCZ makes great memory... but Corsair XMS is the pick for overclockers.

 

Anybody here like the Mushkin ram?

 

true Corsair Twin XMS is doing a great job for my desktop. I haven't tried their notebook ram but would assume they should be great for my laptop too.
