Adding more RAM question

_lecro_ · 27 Dec 2008 at 23:20

i have 2GB of Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator and was going to get another 2gb with my xmas cash until i read the first reviewer mention something about mixing revisions

What are revisions and is it something i need to be concerned with ??

Well the mobo is a XFX S775 nForce 680i SLI
Ive not clocked or altered any of the current timmings / voltages and the ram is exactly the same product code,
its just from the reviewers comments i got the impression there had been some sort of update to the model

"If you have exsisting Dominator memory mixing the revisions with new stuff can lead to BSOD also Corsair say they dont recommend mixing revisions of memory"

Ahh i see,right so lets assume i sold my current 2gb
what do you think is best out of these two.

or
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...HPC Edition Dual Channel DDR2 (OCZ2RPR10664GK)
which my m8 has and recommends.
corsair is £10 more but has a cooler fan included and both almost identical specs,
so is it just personal preference or is there some hidden goodies in one or other
