I'm looking to replace my Memory in a week or so.

I currently have these running Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel

I have ajusted them to get more out of them (Timings are 8-8-8-20 T1, 1450Mhz, 1.55v) M.O WEI is 7.7.

I have to say for such a cheap set they are doing a good job.

But there only 4GB and BF3 is maxing them out, i'm running at 90+ % full, espesialy in 64 Player maps, infact anything more than an hour gaming and my drive starts accessing the Pagefile.

I was thinking,-

G.Skill RipJawsX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel

Or

Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel

The rest of my Rig is

MOBO: Asus M5A97 PRO AMD 970
CPU: AMD Phenom II x6 1090T @ 4Ghz, NB 2850Mhz.
GPU: XFX 5770. (future upgrade to 6870 or 7850 or GTX 660TI)

Which one of those two (or for around £40) is better?

Thanks :)

im no expert, but i only just got these http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-094-KS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517

i had the same problem in BF3 as i only had 4gig of ram, minimizing the game would be painfully slow so i added these and now i have no problems with minimizing and running BF3 :D

Many Thanks :), for £30 they look interesting, but what i don't want is to end up with low performance RAM for the sake of a tenner, I'm not saying they would be junk, they might even be better i just don't know, i would be interested to know how they actually stack up.

To give you an example my current MaxMEM Benches are

Copy: 13000 MBs
Read: 10000 MBs
Write: 8500 MBs
9.2 GBs
Latency 55 ns

My HWBot wPrime v1.55 is 6.379 sec

All this at the clocks you see in my Sig, i don't want to step down from that speed, a side step is fine for extra capacity, preferably i would like to go up if i can.
