Would this memory be better?

Hi all,

Finally got round to ordering my new system today, and was doing a final check on the spec. Noticed that the RAM I had originally gone for (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-086-OC&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=813) based on other threads has slower timings than the two OCZ RAM kits currently on offer (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-097-OC&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=813) and (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-096-OC&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=813). Would one of these be a better choice, as from what I can tell they are basically the same otherwise? Having said that I freely admit i don't know much about these things!

One is the same price and the other an extra tenner, which I'd be happy to pay if it's better? Basic other spec is Q6600, Abit IP35 pro, 8800GTX.

Thanks in advance

The OCZ2N800SR4GK is, of course, better than what you originally had since it's discounted this week. Core 2s aren't really that sensitive to latency so while the OCZ2RPR800C44GK is better it might not give nay greater performance. It might run cooler and look cooler though, with that fancy heatpipe cooler. Take your pick, really.
