Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows where Kingston and Corsair source their DRAM chips from and which lines they are used in if they use more than one source.

I'm currently looking for SODIMMs using Micron, Infineon or Elpida chips (bad experiences w/ PRC, KRN and TW brands) to upgrade my T41P with and want to open up my options.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Kingston is top of the line memory and their chipsource is the world leader Micron. All Kingston memory modules come with a lifetime warranty and Kingston provides excellent and comprehensive information at their website. They have a compatibility program there that tells you every specific PC make and model each module is compatible with, even models hard to get info on like Compaq Presario 12XL410. Kingston also provides links to major resellers who have competitive prices, unlike the Micron stite which charges suggested retail price only, which is standard for factories.
