What is the difference between those 3 ?

Can someone tell me the difference between those 3?

is it worth paying the extra cash for it i choose the last one because i am pretty low on cash but is there a big difference between those 3?

The top one has activity LED lights on the sticks, the middle one has "EPP (Enhanced Performance Profiles) and also SLI certified" and the bottom one is just regular DDR2 800MHz, no extra features.

 

[TheGodfather]

do they perform the same?

 

[oenomel]

Timings are tighter on the second one.

 

[TheGodfather]

so that means it performs better?

sORRY BUT I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THAT MEMORY TIMINGS

Tighter timings will only help if you're overclocking. If you're not overclocking, then don't worry about it.

 

[TheGodfather]

so all three in performance are the same?

The first one has LEDs - yay...
Compared to the 2nd and 3rd ones its dumb since it has 5-5-5-12 timings and has LEDs. You can just screw the LEDs and get the 3rd one at 5-5-5-12 for like $70 less.
(unless you like the LEDs, then whatever).

The 2nd one has tighter timings (4-4-4-12) - If you have an AM2 socket, you want want to opt for these since performance may differ against the 5-5-5-12 ones.

The 3rd one is just run of the mill regular 5-5-5-12 RAM.

They're all the same speed (DDR2 800), so if you have an intel system, performance is probably going to be the same.

If you have an amd system, you may want to consider the 4-4-4-12 ones more. But I doubt you'd take a big hit on performance for going 5-5-5-12. Is it worth the $66 difference? IMHO, not really.

ok but the third memory with the Conroe E6600 will work find right?

 

[nobly]

Go research whatever chipset you're using to see if it'll work.
I don't know what the heck you're trying to do.

 

[TheGodfather]

what do you mean "you dont know what i am trying to do" i want to use ddr2 800 corsair xms2 the last one in the first post with my Conroe E6600

so i am asking if it will work good

 

[angry_ducky]

It should work fine; Corsair XMS is some of the best RAM that you can buy.

And I'm telling you to do some research on the chipset you're going to use. I have no idea what chipset you're going to use.

"If it will work good" isn't really a question.. It'll work, sure. Will it work well??? That depends on what chipset you're going to use. If you use some far out there chipset from some no-name company, it might work horribly. If you use 975 or the nforce chipset, it will probably work great. Hence, do some research on the chipset you're going to use or try to lay out all the information you have. (E.g. tell us you have a E6600, tell us what motherboard you have, tell us all your specs)

And I'm not going to assume anything because that's how everyone gets confused.
