Pretty simple Question. PLease post your experiences.

PS. A part of the reason why I want Generic RAM is because it can help you resist the temptation of overclocking (i heard generic RAM wont OC very well!)

That would depend what it is generic of! If you are worried about ocing simply don't. Remember ocing places stresses on hardwares as well as rasing temps that can damage things when not adequately cooled! Value ram is the type of memory you wouldn't oc to start with since it's not the performance type. But you can get some great value ram for running stock!

lovely?

your ram is very good, some of the best, i stress the fact that you dont need any ram

Sometimes scientists make things alot harder than they need to. All they've gotta do is put a big spring on the ground where they think it's gonna land, or send a mission to the moon to erect a sign that says "Welcome to Earth".

OCZ is a premium brand with 2gb installed there. That's a better setup seen in the sig there then many are running. Why play around in the bios when you can simply boot to the desktop? OCing is a conscious intentional decision not a mandate. Some generic brands also carry their own performance type of memory as well. But when you simply boot at stock the system doesn't oc on it's own.

I use "generic" RAM...KingMAX, I believe. Haven't had any problems with it...

I've used generic Hynix stamped RAM before, it was fine. I never tried to OC it but I put it in a compaq machine so OCing was a nono

On many occasions the so called generic brand is simply the lower end product of a name brand with a generic wrapper on it. Instead of the usual retail "trade brand name" it's sold off shoot for discount houses and for the obvious "cheapie" complete systems! You had a Compaq! Gee I thought having an AST was a lemon!

Cromewell

Hey, I can still use that compaq And I have an old AST (was a pentium 75, now it's an evergreen spectra 233MMX! )That's true, like crucial is the non-OEM name of Micron.

You wouldn't have wanted the 486 AST boat anchor I dumped some years back! Gee all of 64mb of PNY PC100 memory there.
"that's all!"
But then came the Soyo board with the AMD K5 500mhz with 512mb. relief at last!
"but wasn't that also run with PNY PC100 memory?"
Well yes the Shuttle board to follow however saw 768mb of PNY PC133!
"still PNY?"
But the Asus board to come along later saw 1gb of Corsair. yes!
"but what happens now if this guy dumps the OCZ currently used?"
