2133MHz, CL9-9-9-28 or 1333MHz, CL6-6-6-20?

Those are the Geil Ultra Series: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-083-GL&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1387
and the Patriot Sector 5 Viper II : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-024-PA

All good deals, but which one sounds better? In terms of not getting in the way of OC'ing the i5 750.

I'm pretty sure neither will get in the way of the OC.

However, when you compare a 1333MHz kit (admittedly low latency) to a 2133Mhz kit, and the price difference is £5 - I think the decision is pretty obvious

A little ambiguous. LOL Do you mean that I should go with the one with higher frequency? I always suspect that anything beyond 1333Mhz is a waste of headaches, but on the other hand, lower latency can be a potential advantage. Shed some more light, gentlemen!

I don't think timings have much effect on DDR3.

Personally I don't like Geil, I would go with G.Skill or OCZ.

Geil is also from Taiwan the same as G.Skill IIRC. It has quite some market share in mainland China where I came from. Hmm, the Ripjaw is also a good option...

G8, I decided to go with Ripjaws. And also switching to the AMD platform. I don't like being limited by only 16 PCI-E lanes
