I’m looking to get some good RAM for my nephew for Christmas. What are some brands to consider?

When looking to buy RAM (Random Access Memory), for a computer, you should first consider the type of memory currently in place. Many people do not believe in mixing brands, and while some will debate the value in brand vs. off-brand RAM chips, the best brands are commonly held to be: Crucial, PNY, Kingston, Samsung, Panasonic, and Corsair. Most of the major brand websites should have tools indicating what type of memory you need to purchase.
