Hynix has no dout produced good mainstream chips, but would not consider them top-class, Chips are actually more important than manufacturers, but implementation cannot be ignored, Kingston used Infineon chips in their enthusiast Kingston HyperX KHX7200D2K2/1G, and did decently.
No doubt the Micron D fat body chips are the best and rocking material, but recently Elpida chips have shown great potential, and it's being used in a lot of high performing memory, OCZ platinum series, Kingston HyperX etc... and these chips rock too, and are cheaper. Promos it at the moment a sort of mainstream chip used by a lot of manufacturers, and many make their own chips. So u just cant look at a manufacturer and say what is better.
But for now, I know that at the moment transcend is not giving out any great product, for some reason, I have recently begun to dislike them. I'd much rather prefer corsair value products.
God I miss it that Geil/buffalo/G.skill don't sell here, If u will not believe, Geil has a product in market just few bucks higher than the transcend ram, that clock 1000Mhz at really good timings, Geil Ultra(not Micron D9, it's Elpida I guess, not sure).
In all, Corsair/Kingston is good, but Kingston is not so good on the Price front.

And Elpida though good, it is good only upto 1000 not above that.Anything above 1000 and at tight timings,it has to be D9GMH or D9GKX and now Promos
But even Promos cant boast the tight timings that Microns pull off
Absolutely right and BTW Transcend JetRam also uses same D9 Micron chips which most of you would not be knowing. I was using corsiar 667 initially but when I got this new set up bought 800 Mhz Transcend Jet RAM, which is an absolute stunner of an OCing RAM given the price as well. I, ranjan and even ch@0s can vouch for that.
Corsair is good no doubt but Transcend can beat Corsiar by a fair margin given the Price, Performance ratio.
Dude only a particular Model no. of Transcend Jetram DDR2 667 had those and those were very very rare.Also its NOT guranteed that Transcend 667 will have Microns.Transcend is cheap and Micron chips are no way cheap !
No it does not have the heat spresders. Model is JM367Q643A-8. Its 512x2 module and I am running it at 5-5-5-15. Its flawlessly working OCed at 944 Mhz. I will push it further when I get my cooling solution.-----> Those arent Microns if youa re saying so.And If you are saying those are Microns, ssshhhhhhh ! then 944 MHz is INSULT for Micron
BTW Transcend with this model no. ONLY had Microns -PC2 5300 TS64MLQ64V6J
None other than this had Micron.
^^Buy cellshock... its one of the only brands thats guaranteed D9. 1000C4 is guaranteed D9GKX. 1000C5 can be either D9GKX or D9GMH. 800C4 is D9GMH. Expensive but totally worth it. There's also a 800C4 part based on promos but its in a completely different packaging with standard looking heatspreaders.-----> 1000 C4 and C5 both get GKX now Dada
BTW since when did V2 get Promos,they were Elpidas na ?
Plus you can always look for ram that is a D9 Micron, it's just that they are bit costlier, G.Skill, Buffalo are giving out D9 based sticks.
But I'm really beginning to like Elpida, there is some really great Elpida RAM out there-----> You might want to reconsider that statement,Elpida is good no doubt but Micron still rocks for high speeds+tight timings at juicy volts.Elpida IMHO can never show 1100 @ 4-3-3-12,can it
Ok now that was useless showoff
Oh!, BTW guys, just for the fun of it, Hynix is a bigger manufacturer of chips than Micron,Elpida or ProMOS, and only worlds second largest.----> Thats a well known fact
And btw the Buffalo Firestix from Newegg ONLY are guranteed D9,if purchased from some other stores,there is a POSSIBILITY of Elpida under it.Their 1000 part is D9GKX for sure
but they use crappy PCB and hence cant clock well
