    Corsair 1GB DDR XMS3200LLPT TwinX (2x512MB) CAS2 @ £192.11

    Or...

    Kingston HyperX 1GB (2x512MB) DDR PC3500 (KHX3500K2/1G) CAS2.0 @ £209.15

    Me thinks they'd both be CH5 unless the Corsair is rev 1.1 stuff, in that case, the vote would swing more towards the Corsair as then it'd be BH5 $hit.

    Don't know about the Kingston stuff but why would you pay more for CH5??


    Just my

    I guess I should ask what chips are on those sticks. So CH-5 is CH-5 is CH-5 then huh?

    Between the 2 I'd get kingston just because it's my experience that kingston tends oc a little further.

    If I were you I'd just get 1gb of HyperX PC3000 since those will definately be BH5/6.

    I've effectively killed my sig because it is no longer accurate. Oh well!

    CH-5 is CH-5 is CH-5. But this doesn't mean that all will perform the same, as they're variations in stick to stick performance (alot of inconsistant performance, seemingly, in CH-5 memory). Purchase the cheapest stick from a quality level/company that you feel comfortable with.

    http://www.dabs.com/uk/productview?q...L?refererid=DT

    Would this happen to be said KHX 3000 that is pretty much definitely BH5/6?
