the crucial stuff will probably give you tighter timings when overclocking but I couldn't say for sure. go with what your wallet tells you I don't think either would dissapoint.
Don't they use the same chips anyway - or is that just the Reaper modules?
The OCZ RAM allows you to up the voltage to 2.4V whilst still being under warranty (which might be useful if you're an overclocker) but both should give you excellent performance - especially for the price right now.
The Crucial, without a doubt.
Crucial is very good and the RMA is excellent.Quote:

If you RMA to OCZ, they will ask you to send the sticks back to the US, which can take up to 6 weeks for the shipping alone, and then there is the cost of shipping as well...not cheap.
where are crucial based?Quote:
