Solve : Which RAM manufacturer?

Answer»

Hey Guys,

I have a nice little machine, and by little i mean an old MONSTER. Its a Dell Precision T5400 Workstation i PICKED up. Dual Xeon 5450's thats 2 Quad Core Chips! Shes quick, but needs RAM. Going no where on 2Gb only.

So looking at Ebay i have 2 options. Micron Ram or Hynix. Which do you think is better?

The Micron sticks

Or the Hynix:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Hynix-8GB-2x4GB-PC2-5300F-DDR2-667MHZ-ECC-Fully-Buffered-FB-DIMM-Memory-Ram-/181947916296?hash=item2a5cf0e008:g:r60AAOSwwE5WXW9G

I've already added a nice AMD HD 5770 1Gb Card to this machine as well as a nice used 160GB Sata and it runs windows 7 Pro. Could be a peppy little machine. Got it for next to nothing and was hoping to get some use out of that 2009 raw retired server power.

All comments, feedback and or suggestions are more then Welcome. Thanks againA guy on Tom's Hardware is saying that Micron is the same company as crucial, so it should be great. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/32316-30-micron-good
A guy on Overclock.net is saying that Hynix is the world's second-largest memory chipmaker so they're legit. http://www.overclock.net/t/1310542/any-opinions-on-the-hynix-brand-ram

Just type "is insert your brand here ram is good" on Google and you'll find a lot of useful information  Thank-you. That doesnt make my decision any easier but thanks For what you want this for, I wouldn't say there's anything to sway you towards one of those over the other, I'd probably go with the Micron just because it's a little cheaper.
