both are looking same .
go with the 1st one as its cheaper

They are identical (will preform the same) with the minor exception of the 2nd one being slightly lower profile.

For 2 bucks you can use a coin - two headed if you want to give an edge to either one.

They are identical so get the cheep one

PS: does anyone know what the difference is between 9-9-9-24 and 9-9-9-24-2N they have slightly different timings.

The first one is also probably 2N.
The first 4 ratings are the most important, assuming both are operating in daul channel mode.

they're the same there too.......the command rates just not listed on the first timing set

From G.SKILL's website both the F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL and F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL have exactly the same primary memory timings of 9-9-9-24-2N so there is no difference.

It's just that Newegg.com did not show/specify the DIMMs 2N Command Rate for the F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL.

Command Rate: Also known as CPC (Command Per Clock). This is the amount of time stated in number of clock cycles allowed from when the chip select is executed and the memory access commands can be issued. The lower this specification (1T or 1N) the faster the performance (i.e. approximately 1% to 3%), but 2T (or 2N) is used to maintain system stability. On Intel based machines, 1T (or 1N) is always used when the number of banks per channel are limited to 4.
