hi there.

im stuck between choosing what memory i want 2 buy as i just upgraded to a i7 platform.

my options are OCZ OCZ3X1600LV6GK DDR3 1600MHz 6GB Intel i7 Edition, which has xmp.runs at 1600mhz at 8-8-8-24 1.65v or 1800mhz at 9-9-9-28 1.65v.

OR

OCZ OCZ3G1600LV6GK DDR3 1600Mhz 6GB 3x2GB Triple channel runs at latencies of 8-8-8-24 at 1.65v.

the OCZ i7 edition ram is $20 dollars more which i dont mind forking out,but i would like 2 also know if the latencies of 9-9-9-28 are good at 1800mhz(in some reviews it clocks to 1866mhz)

thanks in advance for your help and thoughts.

wez.

Since you already stated that you dont mind the extra 20, just get OCZ3X1600LV6GK. I personally dont think you would find that much of a difference between the sets
