Hey there, am looking for some advice on memory :o
Spotted these two Corsair sets and from a gaming perspective, which would be the best to get?

Corsair 2GB DDR XMS4000PT TwinX (2x1GB) CAS3 (MY-094-CS) with timings of 3-4-4-8

or this one

Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX (2x1GB) CAS2 (MY-079-CS) with timings of 2-3-3-6

Im a tad clueless and cant seem to find a clear answer, ive heard some people say that latency is more important and others say the speed.
Ive also read that its different depending on the type of processor you plan to get, am looking at getting a AMD64 Dual core of some speed (Yet to figure out what I can afford :o )

Thanks for any advice you guys can offer :)
 
Well the first you listed is supposed to have more overclockability, meaning if you overclock it, you should be able to reach the speeds it's rated at with the timings 3-4-4-8.

The second is for people who aren't overclocking, you'll be able to have tighter timings with this RAM.

You may aswell save yourself £6 and get the second.
