Hi guys, just wondering, would this memory http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-056-GS be compatible with my existing DDR3 Ripjaws C7? The only difference seems to be the lower voltage

Been wondering how much of a boost another 4gb of memory would bring

No one?

Absolutely nothing.
I have a faulty stick I need to RMA and I am running just 2GB of ram at the moment. CAD runs more slowly but all I have noticed on BC2 is that it takes a touch longer to load.

4GB is more than enough in almost all cases.

Just having a lurk and wondering if anyone could clear something up for me, what exactly is RMA? Is it claiming on the warranty of the component?
Also how do the sticks posted above compare with the equivalent XMS/Dominators, does anyone know? As they are priced differently, but the RipjawX sticks seem to have faster latency.

Rma is where you return the component within warranty, yes. Usually done if the product has died.

As you said, the ripjaws have lower latency timings, meaning they will be faster

They have lower latency but cheaper. Is this due to having a fancy heatsink and RAM sticks called DOMINATORS!? Seems to me that they might be corsair, but still priced unfairly compared to equivalent sticks purely because of the brand.
