I used to look at Kingston like a good and reputable memory manufacturer
but based on my particular experience with Kingston Tech Support and

It is not only the product what have to be good, also Tech Support is
quite important.

Thanks for the reference to Corsair and Samsung, it is good to have
some other memory manufacturers references.
