Kingston or Corsair?

Zylatis · 1st December 2007, 9:13 PM

Hey guys

I'm looking for 2 gig of about 800mhz DDR2 ram for my new rig (6000+, asus crossfire) and im torn between these two. So far ive found similar ratings and reviews but the price difference makes me dubious, i was wondering what you guys would reccomend:

In the red corner
Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4

In the blue corner:
Memory Kingston HyperX 6400

Thoughts?
Thanks!

Get the one with the better timings iff there the same i would go the corsair personal preferance after my DDR2 1066mhz sticks struggle to get to 900mhz in any Board 680i-P35 chipsets.

The corsair was the cheaper one which is what i found interesting

that is acctually interesting, as we all know kingstone used to be the 'cheaper' solution, now days its more like the 'rival solution'

i have honeslty learnt to trust this sly move kingstone has made with its ram and would go for the kingstone, or the corsair it all depends on the rams stats like said above

better timings=buy
liftime warranty=buy (but most ram come with this anyway now days)
cheaper with the 2 above=buybuybuy
