basic mem questions

[xirokx]

what is the diff in makes between:

1.corsair
2. crucial
3. geil
4. g skill
5. mushkin
6.samsung.
7.ocuk value
8.ocz

if you had to put them in order 1 being the best what order would you go for? why?

Does the make refer to how good the memory performs? does it have anything to do with overclocking?

What is 1t and 2t? what does the T stand for?

Is it true to get best performance from your memory you should run 2 identicial ram sticks? as opposed to 3 or 4?

Whats the diff between ddr and ddr 2? is the diff that noticeable? is pc3200 currently the fastest?

Thanks in advance for your help

wow amd dont use DDR2 thanks for that I thought recently this may have changed but am delighted to find out the current status.....

1. G.Skill
2. Mushkin
3. Corsair
4. OCZ

I was gonna try overclocking when I build a new rig and everyone was telling me to get Geil Ram which I will not do now.....I will stick to the above 4 for over clocking purposes....Which one is best when overclocking out of those 4??
