Im going to be upgrading my system sometime in the near future and was
wondering if the brand of really matters. If it does which brands are you
guys having the best luck with.
Brand manufacturer affects the ATHLON more so than the PENTIUM.

Correct :-), if you go the AMD Athlon/T-Bird/Duron route, they are more
"picky" about RAM than your average Intel based system, but with the
incredibly low price on RAM these days, I hardly see this as a major
drawback, and would advice anyone to get high quality RAM, even for an
Intel based system, you might be surprised how much more stable your
system might be
We tend to use Apacer RAM for customer PC's unless they specify
otherwise, or if it''s a system intended for OC'ing, like my personal
ones, I use high end RAM from MemoryMan, which uses Mosel Vitalic chips
on their RAM sticks, same as Crucial does, which is about as good as
you'll get
http://www.memman.com/, even high end RAM like this is "only" US 79
these days

Maybe I'm lucky, I have always bought generic ram, and never have had
problems.
My current setup is a 950MHz Athlon with 3 different sticks of generic 128MB
pc133 dimms. All three dimms run at 154MHz on an AOpen AK72 mainboard, this
runs my Athlon at 1093MHz. I have a buddy with Crucial RAM and he has
trouble getting 146MHz from his 256MB stick.
IMHO the quality of the mainboard is most important, the maker of RAM is of
second importance.
As always buy from somewhere you trust, I like McGlen.com for generic ram,
make sure your seller has a fair return policy.
