Corsair cmx8gx3m2a1333c or c9

Is there a difference in memory or is it marketing?
Corsair CMX8GX3M2A1333C (available at US store) verses
Corsair CMX8GX3M2A1333C9 (XMP) ?

Welcome to Tom's Forum!

The CMX8GX3M2A1333C9 sure is available in the 'US'; see - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145315 though I like Corsair I'm not a fanboy of the XMS series -- too many issues.

Instead I'd look at various versions of the Corsair Vengeance series; examples - http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100006650&IsNodeId=1&Description=Vengeance&bop=And&SrchInDesc=8GB&Page=1&PageSize=20

Went with the Corsair Vegence, picked everything up Wednesday night! My son (senior in high school this fall) and I had a great time the past few evenings building his new desktop! Thanks for the quick reply!
