Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-8500C5

Or

Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C3

For a Asus P5WDG2-WS Professional running a X6800 processor ?

The 8500 obviously has the benefit for being tested to 1066Mhz but this whole system is going to be run at stock speeds. So would the 8500 memory run at 1066Mhz as stock ?

If not I am presuming that the 6400 memory would be faster owing to its lower latencies ?
 
That wasnt the question I asked...

The spec of the machine I am building will not require oc'ing for performance and I am not an oc'er. Doesnt interest me in seeing how far I can push components.

I simply want to build the fastest or the nearest to fastest stock machine available.
 
Sorry perhaps I am not asking the question clearly enough, Ill try again.

Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-8500C5 TwinX is rated to run at 1066Mhz.

The mobo I am buying runs at 1066FSB.

However the Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C3 TwinX costs £40 more than the 8500. Is this due to its lower latencies, despite the fact it will only run at 800Mhz stock ?

Which will give the better stock performance ? 8500 or 6400 ?
