which 2x1gb sticks to go for. I'm down to a choice of 2

[lancer]

I thought these looked quite good for price etc but having read articles regards latency and timings etc which just lost me entirely now I'm not so sure.

1. 1GB PC6400 Elixir DDR2 800 SDRAM M2Y1G64TU8HB0B-25C

2 of these sticks for £115.90 inc VAT

2. OCZ 2GB kit EL DDR2 PC2-6400 / 800 Gold Gamer eXtreme / XTC Edition / Life time warranty OCZ2G8002GK

2 1gb sticks for £159.95 inc VAT

now the OCZ looks prettier, but am I getting better performance with it?

Could you provide me with links for both of them?

The safe choice would be the OCZ, since the chips that the Elixir show are no longer in production.
Just to be sure, how far do you want to overclock?

Go with OCZ to be on the safe side. Hmmm Elixir never heard of them before

OCZ would be my choice.

Elixir (despite having a super cool name!) I have never heard of before and, as Dario said, the chips on the elixir are no longer in production.

+ you get a life time warranty and cool heatspreaders on the OCZ pair!! :lol:
