@iam

my reasons?

consistancy, cas latency, reliability,etc

I've setup a good 200 box's in the past 2 years and from my expierence Nanya for example... craps out alot... dosent pair up well...and generally has problems... the ones I listed as 'moderate' are usually fine working together but dont provide as good of stability or cas latency ... mushkin IMHO is the best ram bar none... why? (and no I'm not talking the value ram crap they sell but the real mushkin) because it dosent screw up! it has great cas latency, overclocks well (wich equals higher stability at reguler clock rate) they come with heat spreaders already on the chips and seldom if ever dosent pair nicely....

I really cant say 'as a rule' any of them are bad aside from the lower-end generic ram or maybe nanya...its pretty much a case of various questions 'does it pair well?" 'whats the latency?" 'how well does it overclock?" those type of questions....
