Ive been scouring the net looking for ram, found some exceedingly attractive prices for pc 3200 ram, especially the 1 gig packages, but of course, the attractive price is only there because it is "generic" ram.

What are your thoughts on the performance, and the risk involved in generic or non big brand name ram?

Is the cheap price worth the risk?

Depends on the generic RAM.

You want no worries, buy Kingston, Crucial or some boutique brand.

It all depends on your uses. There are good generic and bad generic as with all things. Even with brand name stuff you do occassionally get crap... but generally speaking, yes, you get what you pay for...or less. You can always go cheap brand name...

generic R / // is usable , don't expect to overclock it or to run it at low latencies. Make sure u get a good warranty with it too .
