People's experience with those RAM types determine's their choice here. If its just about brand, go with whatever you've had the best experience with.

I've been a fan of Crucial, so if I had to pick, I'd say that one. But yeah, more RAM > faster.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

And you guys forget, programs would have to be coded to take advantage of 4gb of ram. And that's ridiculous. There's absolutely no reason to store that much information in RAM, not even for video editing. 2GB is enough for HDTV in video editing, jeez.

We're going for 2GB here, I thought? As long as the mobo supports it, it should be fine, no?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
