Memory When you buy memory what's the most important factor?

Ha, good luck there still mega expensive

 

I think this is the most important order for me.

1, Brand / Quality
2, compatibility
3, Performance
4, Price
5,Esthetics last

 

1. Price.
2. Heatsink Design (I will never buy RAM with tall heatsinks again, it's not worth the hassle with a cooler).
3. Voltage.

Price because I'm tight, performance and brand isn't too big a deal since latency doesn't have much effect in real life with fast DDR3 also most RAM brands are good anyway so I don't stick to a certain brand. And I'd prefer to get as low voltage ram as possible since running into a problem with overheating memory controller.

 

Well for me capacity is the most important factor and then latency, voltage, brand.

 

For me it's probably, Frequency, Brand, Price, anything else is just something i decide when i buy it.

Not to say that the frequency has to be the highest that can be bought, just the one i want e.g. 1600mhz.
I've bought corsair for ages and never gone wrong so I like to stick with it.
Price, the cheaper the better.

 

For me its the following, 1 being the most important:

1. Brand- I only buy corsair's RAM as I've always used them without any problems, there support and products are top.

2. Frequency/Lantency- this also matters, i tend to pay more for lower lantency and high frequency, but this depends on the price difference.

3. Warranty- The other reason for me sticking with Corsair is their lifetime warranty.

 

#3, everyone does lifetime warranty on memory

 

I think we've been around this "lifetime warranty" issue before: "We guarantee this product to work until it doesn't".

 

@Bindi - If you would be doing a review of memory modules, could you please include this kit (http://www.yoyotech.co.uk/item-detail.php?products_id=3301100)?

 

When ever I buy hardware the main things from 1 through 5 are the price/value. In memory especially I just tend not to care about much else. Just pick the cheapest kit with any reasonable clock speed/timings.
