I would say
best
Mushkin
Crucial
Siemens
Corsair
moderate
samsung
kingston
bad
nanya
misc(all the cheap crap brands combined)
and thats about it...
fyi : siemens semiconductors are now called infineon, what means, if you buy ram which has the siemens brand printed on top of those ic´s, it´s either old, or faked. :-o
can´t say much about the others, but kingston worked always fine here (sun system) and what you call "misc" works fine in nearly every x86 peecee i own.
Corsair = stable, fastest available at time of purchase, Lifetime Warranty
like kinston does :-D
