You need to edit out the links.

You're not allowed to link to competitors of OcUK.

Hi there,

They are basically the same modules (same make, same type, same timings, same speed, same voltage) the difference appears to just be cosmetic. For sure, they would both perform as well as each other.

Also, beware buying memory on fleebay. These modules when bought new from a shop directly are explicitly offered with a lifetime warranty - on fleebay they rarely offer such generous terms. Hence why prices at retail may be a bit higher - but imho worth it in the long run.
