The best and the worst RAM and motherboard in the world

Hi. I would like to know which RAM and motherboard you think is/are: - the best - the worst And why if possible?

I have a bad experience about my motherboard and RAM. I would like to choose a better ones next time I upgrade or buy a new computer.

Feel free to air Merry Xmas.

Merry Xmas to you too..

I have two computers and in one I have DFI motherboard with Pentium II @ 400MHz on it, and had no problems with it.

Second one uses Asus P4 C800 Deluxe MB with P4 @ 2.8 GHz, this one I'm using for one year now and never had any problems of any kind...

So, I would recommend Asus, DFI, Soltek, Gigabyte MBO-s. You can't miss here

As for the memory, currently using Kigston HyperX DDR 400 and it works perfectly..

I would recommend either expensive Kingston or even more expensive and the best overclocking memory Corsair... (that's just my opinion)

I used Asus A7N8X/VM 400 previously, but its compatibilty is very low.

Now changed to Asus A7N8X (non-deluxe one). But still get some problems. Not sure who's faults, my motherboard, or my RAM.

The first time buying Asus, the first time getting troubles... >_<

I, myself, stick with MSI boards currently.

Since the summer of 2003 I've had the MSI KT6 Delta FISR motherboard and like ninnox I've got the Kingston HyperX DDR400 512MB (to be exact, the product number is: KHX3200A/512) and its been a joy - at stock settings of the mobo, it flies compared to the rubbish i had before.

I, also, have had a few problems with ASUS in the past and also, cheap Gigabyte mobo's (8 of the same model in seperate machines which all overheated and played up - no response from gigabyte for about 4 yrs now hehe)

The best advice is to check out what your about to buy before you buy it (obvious i know and still not always full-proof but its always the best bet for getting the right stuff in this day and age of incompatible stuff)

Also, you should have started this topic in the Hardware section of the forum Wai_Wai

Regards,

N.

Concerning the brand name, MSI is said to be bad. Probably they produced a lot of bad motherboards and become notorious.

Yes, I think the only best way to get a good motherboard is to do research before purchase. Relying on one brand probably doesn't get you to the right choice.

In buying a new computer, I think we should focus most on motherboards and RAM. It seems to be these 2 components can cause a lot of troubles if we select the bad ones.
