About a year & a half since I last considered this question.
What brands of PC 3200 DDR ram are considered to be the most stable & speedy as of the computer worlds ever changing moment? (2 X 512 mb)

Just get any modules with the timings of 2-2-2. Almost all manufacturers have them.

I love my OCZ Gold series stuff, but Corsair is also quite good I'm told.

Depends on you gonna overclock your system or not... if not just like chai said ,just get any ram with 2-2-2 timing. As for overclocking .. my personal perference willl be Ocz. Ofcourse, Ocz is not the best, but widely available.

Thanks! I need to rephrase the question for a friends machine I'm building as well.What is considered a good buy in value ram that is reasonably fast & "stable" by forumers?
Same specs 2x512,PC3200 DDR. Wont be overclocking, but timings of 2-2-2 arent found in the value ram sale box very often so he would probably just want a brand that is stable & reasonably priced.

Unanswerable. No one must buy value ram anymore!
