First off howdy everyone! new to the forum although not to overclockers...

right.. down to business... building a new core 2 duo system and need 2x1 GB ram and confused between Corsair or Geil 6400... the current price of the Geil is quite attractive but ive never heard of this brand before... so any enlightenment will be much appreciated... what about their warranty and how to claim ( since they are US based) .. and most importantly how do they compare with Corsair?

oh and im building the system for hardcore gaming

cheers!

Welcome to the forums, enjoy your stay, you'll be hooked in no time

The Geil is the one to get, cheap, a good well known brand, clocks fantastically and a lifetime warranty.

Warranty wise the first year will be covered by OcUK I believe, after that its via Geil, which means posting to the US, but the turn around is pretty nippy.

cheers for that but do they actually have a service center/support in the UK or will it be through overclockers?

Sorry I did a quick edit, the first year OcUK will deal with any problems here in the UK, then after that you have to post to the US and deal with Geil Support directly.
