Hey I was wondering what the difference was between these two sets of DDR2-1066 RAM:

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory F2-8500CL5D-4GBPI-B

The specs look identical to me but the Pi Black version costs $5 more and does not have free shipping. I've heard people recommending G.Skill's Pi Black but is it really that much different from the first one?

The PI Black is newer and it has slightly better heat spreaders. Other than that, they're basically the same.
