...since that is what the NewEgg reccomender suggested. I've always gone with Crucial memory before this, since I've had no problems with them. Can I expect the same level of quality with Corsair?
Oh, and a bit off topic here, but does anyone else tend to collect their old memory sticks from previous computers? I've got three old ones, a 32MB one from my old IBM Aptiva (2 computers ago, before 2001), a 128MB one that also went into my Aptiva, and a 256MB one that came standard on my older Compaq (2001-2007; replaced with a 512MB module).
Corsair is good RAM. Don't worry. $13 for a gig. Jeez!
I keep old RAM. On occasion I run into people who are having a rough time of it and need some PC help. If the RAM fits their PC and it needs it I put in it. Doesn't cost me anything and sometimes eliminates the need for them spending money.
I recently got rid of some old memory cards. The ones with the small chips you could plug in yourself. Took up a slot on the mobo and didn't run very fast. Row upon row upon row of little chips on a full length board. I spent more time than I care to admit plugging in those chips to add RAM to company computers. Fingers and thumbs used to hurt for days after that.

Pretty much. They're both top brands.

I guess I do - not by choice, but by happenstance. I just never get rid of the things... I've got quite a collection. I think I even have some SIPPs around, and I know I have some chips - yes, actual memory chips that had to be seated in sockets (c. < 1990). What can I say - I'm a pack rat.
check out memoryamerica.com, they might have that ram as well... and a lot more.
As for corsair, they are not a bad ram at all. I use OCZ stuff myself.
I like OCZ flash drives. Their RMA program is the best (had to use it once - my fault, not the hardware) and has a quick turnaround. I now buy only OCZ flash.
I also like Patriot memory. I've had very good luck with it.
I just built a new gaming rig using Corsair, 4Gb for $25 after rebate
