I'm ordering parts for a new machine this weekend and am curious to hear thoughts regarding which memory I should go with? i'm a complete newb when it comes to DDR2, especially on AMD cpus (for obvious reasons)

I'm not going to OC it, but I want something that does not introduce a performance bottleneck - it'll be used primarily for gaming.

I was looking at either this

or this:

if either of the two are way off base for my needs, feel free to make other reccomendations :)

thanks!
 
Go with the Corsair. Better brand name, and more importantly, tigher ( the tightest currently available ) timings.
 
OK, cool. that was the one thing that stuck out the most between the two

thanks
 
did you realised that the corsair is twice the price of gskills.

you are right that the corsair one will be better, but for the price id say gskill.
 
Second vote for the gskill. It has a lifetime warrenty so you should be fine.
 
Well, that's the price you pay for being an early adopter, if you're that hard up for that kinda of stuff.
 
shit those corsair are expensive.

though nice timings. definitly not worth it unless you're trying to break a few memory speed records. ;)
