I have a Gigabyte GA-P43-ES3G, P43, Socket-775, with a Q8300 CPU and i am trying to figure out which ram to get.
I have narrowed it down to three;
Corsair XMS2 DHX - 4 GB PC2-6400(800Mhz) ( 2 x 2 ) CL4-( 4-4-4-12 ) 2.1V
Corsair XMS2 - 4 GB PC2-6400(800Mhz) ( 2 x 2 ) CL5 ( 5-5-5-18 ) 1.8V
Corsair Dominator DHX - 4 GB PC2-8500(1066Mhz) ( 2 x 2 ) CL5 ( 5-5-5-15 ) 2.1V
So there it is, which one will it be?
I'm kinda leaning towards the CL4 one, as I've gathered that the lower the CL the faster the ram. And considering the cost of the 3 types, i will save 20-30 USD buying the CL4 one.
Thank full for any input.
