In other words, it's a Chevy with a Maserati logo on it, that you're paying a Maserati price for.
The manufacturers offer similar warranties and you really only pay more for the *overclockable* ram (which only buys you speed in synthetic benchmarks) |

In other words, it's a Chevy with a Maserati logo on it, that you're paying a Maserati price for. except it's not true. they don't all use the same chips. And even when they do, the circuit board isn't the same either. That is why there is so much difference between different memories.
What you need to do is check and see what memory works best with your motherboard. All motherboards have some memory brands that work better than others, and some that cause errors. |

1 edit | It's just not worth spending the money on.
Memory is probably the most solid component in most computers in terms of durability (assuming you're not changing clock or voltage . . and i'm not including Flash memory, that's another discussion)
It's kind of like sound cards. They used to be required in order to get any manner of good sound, but nowadays, any motherboard has integrated sound that's satisfactory.
You can go and buy some advanced sound card or memory, but when you do a real world durability and performance comparison, it's overpriced unless you have some niche computing area you're into. |
