I have no experience with samsung ram.. I have read that they have been doing it for a while and there is a ton of samsung ram on the market i don't really think you could go wrong dude.
Samsung Ram
Has anyone had any experience with Samsung ram? I am considering buying 2 gigs off of ebay for my brother's pc, but I don't know if it will be reliable or anything. It will go with a phenom II 550BE and I will not be overclocking. The ram does not include heatspreaders, but is this an issue if I'm not overclocking? Also, it is 533, so does that make much of a difference in light gaming? Thanks.

Also, it depends on the actual RAM chips on the PCB. The new Samsung DDR2 800Mhz RAM chips are terrible in comparison with their older stuff. The new ones are only rated for Cas 6 (6-6-6-12) while the old ones were Cas 5 (5-5-5-15 or 12).
Samsung isn't the only company to make RAM chips though either. There's Micron, Hynix, Infineon, IBM, uhm there's a bunch of others but the server that used to hold all the RAM information is down
