OWC vs. Corsair

Question

OWC vs. Corsair

Doing the 3G RAM upgrade deal and have two choices.

Either http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/53IM2DDR3GBK/ and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233051

Since price really isn't an issue between the two I'm going for durability and performance. Feedback?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I have one of each. OWC for a 4 month,no problems. Corsair for a week and somehow it makes MB run 1000 rpm higher,and of course it makes it louder...
So,don't really like it... Was much more better with 1.5 Gig of RAM,than now with 2 Gig... 😟

Either set guarantees Mac compatibility and has a lifetime warranty - the only two things that matter when selecting RAM. I have used Corsair in my PCs without issue for years and have used OWC RAM in several Macs without issue as well.

both are reputable resellers, but I would go with OWC to save a few bucks.
