Ok here's the deal, im planning on a major system upgrade right this very moment, the problem is I cant decide on which memory to get its either Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2X1GB) or Corsair TwinX XMS2 2GB (2x1GB) both are DD2-800.

The crucial is £5 more than the Corsair TwinX XMS2 but both have the low latencies of 4-4-4-12 and the same voltage requirements, reason im asking is because im compairing prices and can source the components i need for 330 from one place or 350 from another difference is the ram, motherboard and CPU are the same (Q6600 G0).

Initially I wont be overclocking much as I will be buying a new water kit for this setup next month sometime, so will have to make do with the stock cooler.
 
A suggestion the OCZ 6400 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-072-OC&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=

The OCZ should stick with a Q6600 upto ~4ghz (450x9).

4gigs at £96-00 including delivery 4-4-4-15 can be pushed to 950-1000mhz or £44-64 for 1x2g kit. On special offer at the moment

The Ballistix is great, but I'm no longer sure that it's worth nearly 25-50% more than the OCZ at their current prices. If I was buying right now I would go for the OCZ.
