Hello, this is my first post so I wanna say Howdy yall!

I'm about to buy new memory and I'm debating between these two. I've ran through both producents' specifications and I haven't notice any significant difference. I'm giving respective links here:
http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f3-1866c9d-16gxm
http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/HX318C9SRK2_16.pdf

What do you recommend? Kingston is a little bit cheaper but if I can get a little more performance out of G.SKILL ima go for it. I appreciate your feedback.
 
Solution
Both are 1866, but the GSkill have the tighter CL of 9 vs the 11 of the Kingston, you'll get better performance out of the GSkill by a fair amount, plus the GSkill have more OC headroom - I often run sticks like this at 2133 (CL10) for the even higher bandwidth
