On Newegg they have the following two product numbers for Kingston Hyper X Fury RAM: HX424C15FB2K2/16-SLV (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104714) and HX424C15FB2K2/16 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104680).

The only difference, other than price, is the "SLV" at the end and the product description says "Sleeved." What does that mean? Thanks.

I think it is just a packaging difference. If you look at the pictures of the packages they are different. The "sleeved" version looks more tamper resistant for stores to put on peg board. The sleeved RAM looks like it is sealed in plastic which would have to be cut open.
