2Gb Ballistix or 4Gb Corsair?

[Yeggstry]

Hi guys,

I'm currently looking at a new computer with the following spec:

Asus P5K-E
Q6600
gainward bliss 8800GT
Corsair 520W PSU

and I did have the 2Gb ballistix earmarked but I just noticed I could get the Corsair 4Gb this week for only a tenner more. Even the OCZ 4Gb set is only a few quid more so was thinking about that as well.

Is it worth it? I'm going to be using Win XP 32bit for now, and I want to be pushing the clock on the Q6600 up to 3.8 stable. Is the corsair good for overclocking or should I stick with the ballistix? Or do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Yeggs

Will you be running any virtual machines of this rig

If so, then 4gb is the wise option.

You know I will be

Does it matter which 4Gb I go for? I mean the OCZ is cheaper and isn't a special offer thing, is it as good?

Nah it doesn't really matter.

Tho personally I'd spend the extra few quid on this. The lower timings will give your frame times a boost.
