Best DDR3 RAM for samples work?

Check the QVL for your motherboard....that's where I'd start

in this order

Super Talent (the only ones using Samsumg modules) but also more $ about $20 a stick
we are considering going back to these guys despite the cost.
Mushkin  what we use now
Corsair  have had issues in the past

wen filling all slots things can get funky.. dont try to buy 24Gig ram thats faster than 9-9-9-24  1600.

all of these will still require you to fool with the memory settings or they will run @ 1333
however they are the ones most likely to work

silver line is ok i would want the black line 1600.
if you cant get that then Corsair. i have seen varying reports of gskill (never tried them)
you definitely want 9-9-9-24 1600..

Thanks, I'll be sticking to your advice about the 9-9-9-24 1600.
Will get the Corsair Vengeance 12gb later this week, since you recommend that brand. I take it that it's unnecessary to go for the Corsair Dominator range, which is a lot more expensive?
Also, is it OK to get 2 sets of 12gb RAM, rather than 1 set of 24gb RAM? (works out a lot cheaper)

Just sharing some news I came across -

It looks like Mushkin is now making a new type of Blackline Enhanced memory, that runs on only 1.35V instead of 1.65V:

This looks like a winner, if it can run on those specs at 1.35V.
