Whats the difference?

Between these 2 sets of RAM?

Set 1

Set 2

As im after some new RAM, my 800Mhz is holding back my OC.

Got about £70 to spend on GOOD RAM for OCing an E8400, need to be 4Gb aswell.

Thanks

By my reckoning £5.75

Though seriously the only difference seems to be the heat spreaders on the cheaper sticks. They will come in handy if you up the volts to overclock further. Seems like the cheaper sticks are the way to go..

Could be OcUK have a cupboard full with heat spreaders and just a few without so they've priced the ones with spreaders to go. As long as your case will take the extra height of the spreaders I would save the cash...
