Advice would be much appreciated

Are you doing any over clocking at all ?

No overclocking, it's a stock dell i7vostro setup, will just be using to run virtual Machines
The cheapest.....which I'm guessing is XMS3. Very good RAM and unless your doing some crazy stuff with boards that can overclock via FSB, then there is no point getting anything fancier.

They are both te same price so just want to get whichever is better, is the crucial one the better choice?
What do you guys think about below:
If you're going to install 4 modules, you definitely want to use standard 1.5v modules. * There are enough issues with bus loading when using more than 2 modules without aggravating the issue.
The Crucial Sport modules are 1.5v modules, so they would be the choice if you limit yourself to these two options (the Corsair modules are 1.65v). * *But the Corsair modules are slightly faster, with a CAS latency of 9 vs. the Crucial's 10.
... but you can also get excellent 1.5v modules with a latency of 9 if you use Corsair Vengeance modules: * http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145347
Forget CAS latency and any other performance metric. The voltage in the only thing that matters in reality. Get the 1.5v modules.
On anything but an AMD Llano based system, going from the slowest available DDR3 RAM to the very fastest in every way will see single digit percentage gains at best.

Vostro Desktop ? I always assume people have a laptop when they say they are using something from the Vostro range.
