    All the difference is in the picture.

    The DHX just have that extra heat dissapation stuff but I wouldn't recommend getting it as it can get in the way of certain CPU coolers and don't really do anything especially as corsair RAM doesn't overclock that well. It's goo stable ram though (both sets) which I why I don't have a problem recommending it. Especially as you don't want big overclocks from 1333MHz FSB chips like the E8400.

    Re: Should I buy this RAM?

    I've not actually heard of anyones overclocks on the 2x2GB ocz kits.

    It does really depend on the chip you are after though.

    Only the 1333MHz FSB chips will need to go higher than the stock speed of PC6400 RAM

    Q6600's won't need to, as will the E21**, E4*** etc..
