G5 DDR Ram question

I went after some prices and specs for the PC3200 DDR400 SDRam modules.

Prices are pretty low, around ?90 for 512Mb, and up to ?165.



Most expensive are the low-latency modules (CAS 2), but I find that there are so many companies offering them (with differing prices/same latency), that I wonder from whom to buy.



As this appears to make a 15% difference in speed, perhaps anyone has good points why to buy (not) from a specific company (Kingston, Corsair, Dane-Elec, TwinMos, etc.)?



Thanks a lot.



P.S. Anyone know what the 'HyperX' stands for, related to memory modules from Kingston?

    HyperX is marketing/branding. Corsair XMS, Kingston HyperX, Geil, WinBond are all fine for the expensive stuff. For the cheap stuff, Kingston ValueRAM is fine.

    So what kind of memory will work in these new G5's exactly. What latency etc. ?



    Want to make sure I have so ram so I can slap in it before even turning it on.

    Don't you want to start it up with the original ram form the factory and then upgrade the ram to see how much gains you get?
