G.Skill is pretty good too (Best ratings across the board). All of my recent builds use G.Skill. Corsair XMS is another good one. I think the stock RAM should suffice though. There's another model of Optiplex 990 that comes with 2GB. You can buy a bunch of those and upgrade it with 3rd party RAM too. I just priced it up and it's actually more expensive to use that base model. $814 for the same stuff with 2GB of RAM. The one above is better.
