What is the best memory for this combo?

Intel i7 920 & DX58os running Vista

I'm running mostly Adobe softwares & some gaming in between. I'm thinking either a 6GB Corsair Dominator or OCz Platinum. I most likely won't be doing any OC...since I'm not really good at those kind of stuff. Corsair costs $50 more...is it worth the price? Or if you have any other suggestion please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Since the question can't be answered without looking at the specs for each part, I grabbed these three from Newegg:

#1 CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TR3X6G1600C8D - Retail $190

#3 OCZ Platinum 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Voltage Desktop Memory Model OCZ3P1600LV6GK - Retail $145

When you compare #1 and #2, both are name brands that guarantee performance at the same rated speed, voltage, and timings. #2 is $78 cheaper, so if you aren't overclocking that's the one to buy. If you are overclocking, you may believe (or may find proof in reviews) that the Corsair will overclock faster and easier.

#3 is guaranteed to run at the same speed and voltage, but at faster timings. Importantly, with only 7 latency (the first "7" in the 7-7-7-24 string). So this memory only requires 7/8ths as long a delay between "accesses" as #1 or #2.

Of these, #3 is the best memory for a non-overclocker. It may also prove to overclock as well or better than the Corsair, but none of that is known or guaranteed by the specs.

#3 will benchmark faster, help overall system performance by a few percent, but frankly that probably won't really be noticable in day to day use.

Hope that helps.
