Kingston HyperX 3200 or Cosair XMS 3200

[mixerman]

I was wondering what the better memory is? Is the Kingston HyperX better and faster than the Cosair XMS 3200? It looks like the latency timings are lower on the Kingston memory..
What is the best memory out there for 3200 ?

And is it worth getting the 3500 memory or should I jsut stick with the 3200 ?

HyperX is Kingston's low latency brand. Corsair's low latency has LL in the name right after the pc3200<b>LL</b>.

The HyperX should be faster/better. The best pc3200 are Corsair's XMS 3200LL.

If your going to overclock your FSB beyond 200 then it will probably be worth it to get 3500.

What platform are you looking to run this memory on?

I am thinking of going with the Abit IS7 motherboard and the Intel P4 2.4c (800mhz)... what do you think of this? In terms of a good setup and for overclocking in the future if I desire so..

I'm using HyperX 3200 on a ASUS P4P800 deluxe and had problems with stability until I called them. They had me go into the BIOS and manually set the timing to their recommendations. Everything seems okay now. It doesn't matter how fast it is if it won't run stable.
