I'm trying to choose between two sets of memory. Both are Corsair Platinum Series XMS 2x1GB non-ecc, unbuffered with heatsink and lifetime warranty.
The first is DDR500 3-4-4-8 £157.45
The second is DDR400 2-3-3-6 £175.08
The £17.50 price difference isn't earth shattering, but I don't want to spend it if there isn't going to be a noticeable difference.
I intend to run it in an Asus A8N-SLi Premium, with a 3700 San Diego and a 7800GT. I might do a bit of overclocking but not a huge amount.
The Corsair configurator came back with these exact modules as their most popular ( DDR400/cas2) and best overclocking (DDR500/cas3) :-
Recommended Modules
Most Popular:
TWINX2048-3200C2 / DDR-400 (XMS-3200C2) / 2-3-3-6
Best Overclocking:
TWINX2048-4000PT / DDR-500 (XMS-4000) / 3-4-4-8
Would I be making a big mistake to save the £17 ?
