isnt this one exactly the same except without nVidia's logo and and almost half the price?

[Tarinder]

It is, yes, but that's a misprice and not likely to be in-stock anytime soon.

We'll contact Scan for confirmation.

Guys hi,

The part reviewed is NVIDIA Partner Memory - SLI Approved
http://www.corsair.com/partners/default.aspx?p=nvidia

Corsair DDR3 2GB and 4GB Memory - http://www.corsair.com/products/xms3_dhx.aspx

So Pricing is more in line with the market:

2GB DDR3 - TW3X2G1600C9DHX

4GB DDR3 - TW3X4G1600C9DHX
http://www.cclonline.com/product-inf...ategory_id=773

So Josh you can keep your PS3 - no need to sell it!!!

The review on page 3 gives the part number of the memory as TW3X2G1600C9DHXNV but seeing as it shows that the pack is 2 x 2Gb of memory shouldn't the part number be TW3X4G1600C9DHXNV instead?

i wonder IF i7 allows for higher FPS with DDR3 if its due to the proccessor, OR due to the extra bandwidth....

will there be a way to test it vs DDR2/3 on an X48/P45 chipset?
