Well its payday and time for some new RAM :)

I'm trying to decide between two very similar (I think) 2x1GB PC3200 RAM kits. I don't necessarily want to overclock now, but I'd like to have the option to to the future, so i've been looking at these two:

G.Skill 2GB DDR ZX PC3200 (2x1GB) - CAS2 Dual Channel Kit (F1-3200PHU2-2GBZX) (MY-007-GS)

or

OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC3200 Dual Channel Platinum Series EL-DDR CAS2 (OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K)

I've read the boards and people seem to recommend both, I just wondered if people had any views on why I should go for one over the other?
 
Id go for the gskill as its cheaper but then it needs 2.6-2.75v whereas the ocz needs 2.6v. You could conside the corsair 3200c2. Its rated to 2,3,3,6 but mine is memtest free up to 205mhz (havent tested higher) @ 2,3,2,5 @ 2.6v. I might have just been lucky though. Just make sure its going to work with your board
 
I got G.Skill in this rig because it was a much better rice.
But I wish I could have afforded the OCZ, my 1gig set of OCZ feels much better made extra weight from the better heatspreader - and clocked to hell and back)

Take the OCZ
