I'm considering:
1. Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (9-9-9-24) ($80)
2. OCZ Platinum 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1333 (7-7-7-20) ($85 with MicroCenter rebate)
Which set is faster? This is for an i7 860 build I'm putting together. If the DDR3 1600 isn't supported, which is how I've read some articles, will the Ripjaws be downgraded to 1333 and I'll have sticks running at the same speed but worse timings than OCZs?
