I agree with infinitenull. The brand really doesn't matter, except for lifetime warranty vs 1 year. Also cheaper brands are usually have higher CAS latency than better brands like corsair and crucial. Check the CAS latency specs when you purchase the RAM. The lower the CAS the better the performance.

Some motherboards are finicky about what memory will work. Many brands of motherboards have forums where you can select your particular model and read the experiences of other users. Crucial is one of many good brands of memory; but check for your motherboard's compatibility first.

The only thing you have to worry about is what kind of RAM your motherboard supports. You can check the documentation that came with your PC for that. It should tell you in the manual for your motherboard.
SIMM
DIMM
DDR
PC1800, 3200, etc
