Sniper vs. Ripjaw

Solution
looked at (2) sets, my initial reaction 'feeling' is that they're the same IC's, but the chipset differences concerned me that perhaps they are NOT 100% the same IC's. But few people get LGA 775 RAM so it could be a simple omission by G.SKILL. I would prefer the Ripjaws primarily because the 'ridge' can cool the RAM better, on anything less than a 4X_GB high density and 1600 MHz+ speed it won't matter too much.
