Hello,

About to hit buy on a new 955BE PC (785G Chipset) and have no idea regarding DDR3 memory, as stock levels are low it’s looking like one of the two below, the first is ~£10 dearer, are there any differences performance wise between the two?

OCZ Platinum AM3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C7 1333MHz Dual Channel

Corsair XMS3 DHX 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3

The corsair does run at high voltages though and the OCZ has better timings.
Gutted as I was about to buy this https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-165-OC&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1387 as there was 10+ in stock last week

Yep, I've seen your post and I'm not sure whats going on with the stock levels of duel DDR3, but it seems very hard to find...Think I'll go for the OCZ
