I like the Corsair Dominator RAM, but my current stuff is OCZ reeper sticks because they were cheaper and are also very good.

Personally my brand of choice is OCZ, but Corsair, Kingston and Crucial all make good ram. Just compare the timings and pick the ones that suit your purpose best.

Whatever's cheapest.

One point in favour of Crucial is .... if it's shown as compatible on their website and it later turns out not to be ..... they will refund your cash.

Having said that they are usually more expensive
