I dont really understand the difference between the various options.

I was looking at the following:

Patriot Viper

Corsair XMS3 6GB

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-169-CS

OCZ Gold 6GB

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-185-OC&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1389

I would welcome alternative suggestions as well.

The ocz has better timings but thats it, doubt you'll notice much of a difference in general tasks.

I would suggest going for this stuff instead.

What makes the patriot better (besides the attractive price)

is patriot a respected manufacturer for memory?

The partiot is a good make (though so are all the others), but crucially, the timings of that RAM I linked to are better (lower) than the others - so it will perform better. Considering it is priced as well as the others, its a good kit to go for.

I use that in my current system, pretty happy with it so far.
I originally had OCZ but both sets were faulty.
