G.Skill or Corsair?

[jonspanos]

G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Unbuffered DDR2 667
OR
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Unbuffered DDR2 675


The timings are the same, the clock speeds are the same... Which is better memory? The Corsair would cost me $22 more than the G.Skill and I have confidence in them.

The corsair is better in this case (read: the extra $ is well spent). The gskill is 667, you would have to pump a lot more volts to match it. That being said, the gskill is an excellent value.

Use Corsair..

and BTW, HTML does not work too well in fourm posts. Use the tag instead. (Button is at the top)

I would choose Corsair. They've been around much longer and is a recognized name among enthusiasts.

One other consideration. I just upgraded using Patriot Ram. Not as well known as Corsair but just as good if not better than G.Skill and cheaper to boot. I swear by it.

They are both trusted brands. I would say though that more people swear by corsair then g.skill

$22 is quite a price difference, espeically considering a simple bios setting for 2.0v on the gskill and it is par w/ the corsair. I guess it is worth it if you don't like pumping more voltage to your dimms - peace of mind can be priceless 8)
