Crysis + 9 VMs: Core i7 and 24GB RAM

[rooket]

Corsair. I've never had any fail on my home computers, but have had several brand new kits fail when testing them on new workstations I have put together. I continue to only buy that brand since when you get a good kit, it runs virtually forever with no problem and if you get a bad one, exchange with corsair RMA is no hassle at all. Kingston is probably good but the brand name screams 'generic brand' to me. I used to buy loads of kingston cd-r's, they were always cheap CMC magnetics.

Kingston for budget, Corsair for high end. I've been using Corsair in my high end systems for years. The few times I purchased cheap "Brand X" memory I got stung so for me, I just don't deal with anything else.

High quality RAM from a major manufacturer for me; I lean towards OCZ, but after reading an early OC review I went with 12 GB of Patriot (2 6 GB 3-way kits).

I must say I was a bit disappointed in this article, I was hoping to read a real rest showing the improvement (or lack of) in gaming using higher quantities of RAM. Perhaps Toms could run such a test? Crysis and typical supporting software such as antivirus and antispam, software firewall on Vista 64 @ 4, 6 (the new de facto base for i7 machines), 12, and 24 GB of memory?

I go corsair for their DHX RAM. I currently have 4GB of their DHX DDR3 and can run crysis on very high very smoothly.
