Having trouble deciding between these 2. Which would be best and why? I hear great things about both. Would be used with an Asus P5W64-WS Pro motherboard and an E6600. I would be overclocking.

I think I just ignored it because it was 5300. RAM confuses the hell out of me at the best of times, and although I had heard the anniversary stuff was very good, I figured because it was not 6400 then it would still just be beaten by the Corsair 6400 of equivalent value. But I'm guessing from your suggestion that this isn't the case?? Is that just because it's been such specially prepared RAM with special attention paid to it's construction? What about the fact that it's 667mhz vs the 800mhz of the ones I was looking at?vocch said:How come you ain't looked into these:

Thermaltake said:People have cottoned onto it, thats why theres a sticky about it. I think the reason that some people dont have it is because c2d came out a fair bit before this ram, so people bought geil, corsair, g.skill..... etc.
I think people building a system now should definalty look into this stuff as its very good!![]()
