    I currently have 256mb of PC2700 333mhz ddr sdram. I am wanting to add another stick of 512mb. Are there certain brands to stay away from? I am going to go through www.newegg.com to order it. Thanks for the help

    Well, I can't tell you what to stay away from, but I can tell you what's good. I have a 512MB stick of PC2700 RAM - Patriot Signature series. Works very well, and its quite fast. Kingston was always trusted, and Crucial is also good.

    Happy buying! :cool:

    I'll add corsair to chazman's list of good brands. They are usually cheaper and offer the same level of reliability.

    I have Kingmax. Had no problems at all with them since I got them 4 months ago, but that's my only experience with them, so I am not gonna recommend them!
