My idiotic buddy bought 512 corsair 400 mhz ram for like 117 Cad.

Now he's got an opportunity to trade it in for 1 gig samsung ddr400

is there anything special about corsair ram other than scrap metal wrapped around it?

[funkgab]

it runs faster and cooler then most ram, such as samsung or hyundai

btw it looks much cooler, but looks can be decieving when coming to computer parts, its how they work.. looks only matter in cases,lights, etc

don't samsung, hyundai, and hynix make memory chips for all the American brands? you can probably just buy a samsung stick and strap-on a piece of copper on it (pennies)...

More RAM is better than less RAM. Check the RMA policy first, then if you can, get it and see if it works to your satisfaction. If it doesn't, RMA it for a refund. Samsung, like Winbond, is one of the top manufacturers of memory chips which find their way onto the top-tier lines of most DIMM manufacturers, like Kingston HyperX and Corsair XMS lines.
