    I am planning on buying a 4GB of RAM. I am not sure which one is better, Crucial or Corsair? It would be greatly appreciated if you response. Thank you.

    Yeah, it really doesn't matter. With RAM, almost all brands are reliable, so go with the least expensive one that meets your requirements. Crucial and Corsair are both well-known brands who will have reliable RAM.

    Crucial uses the big name parts. It is like replacing the sticker in the generic RAM into Crucial sticker.

    Don't you mean Corsair uses parts from other DRAM manufacturers? I'm pretty sure Crucial makes it's own memory, well, it's made by Mircon, but since Crucial is owned by Micron, it's pretty much the same.

    Both offer limited lifetime warranties on their RAM modules so either one should cater your needs just fine, just go with the one which is cheapest.
