Ok, two different ram, which one is best. And could someone explain a little bit about the latency? low numbers better?

Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 PRO TwinX (2x1GB) (MY-113-CS)
The TWIN2X2048-6400C4PRO is a 2048 MByte matched pair of DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs. This part delivers outstanding performance in the latest generation of DDR2-based motherboards. It has been tested extensively in multiple DDR2 platforms to ensure compatibility and performance at its rated speed. This memory has been verified to operate at 800MHz at the latencies of 4-4-4-12. As part of Corsair's XMS ProSeries, each module includes the high-efficiency aluminum XMS heatsink, and 24 activity LED's that show the level of memory activity on each bank.
Price: £224.99 (£264.36 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-6400C4 TwinX (2x1GB) (MY-124-CS)
The Dominator Series Twin2X2048-6400C4D is a 2048 MByte matched pair of DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs built using Corsair’s latest high performance heat sink with Dual-Path Heat Xchange (DHX) technology. This part delivers outstanding performance in the latest generation of dual-channel DDR2-based motherboards. It has been tested extensively in multiple DDR2 motherboards to ensure compatibility and performance at its rated speed. This memory has been verified to operate at 800MHz at latencies of 4-4-4-12. The Twin2X2048-6400C4D comes with
Enhanced Performance Profiles (EPP), the open standard for performance module SPD’s jointly developed by Corsair and NVIDIA. EPP SPD’s on Corsair modules allow users to automatically configure EPP enabled motherboards with aggressive memory performance settings, for maximum memory and system performance. Performance of these modules incorporating DHX can be further enhanced by using the optional Dominator Airflow Fan, for even more cooling and protection.
Price: £194.99 (£229.11 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Any recommendation on which one to get?
And why that one?

i have the top one. basically they are exactly the same except the bottom one comes with the dominator cooling sytem attached as shown in the pics.

if you intend to overclock your memory lots then the dominator thing will keep it cooler. if you are not then no point in getting it save the money and get the other one wich comes with full length heat spreaders on em anyway.
 
just realised i misread your first post doh lol i dont own the top one after all but never the less they are the same rams really just with diff heatsinks and the top one had indicator lights on it.

i got Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX (2x1GB) (MY-108-CS)
