XMS2 RAM question
Here are too RAMs that apply to my planned system.
SLI type Regular What is the difference besides the SLI, if any? And is it okay to run SLI ready RAM in non SLI system, with only one GPU? Thanks.

I would go with the first kit if you don't mind waiting for the rebate, as it does have lower latencies.

Thanks. So what is the difference between SLI RAM and non SLI ram? Does it simply work better with two GPUs than RAM that isnt made for this purpose?

Right, nothing you cant do manually but if it has SLI on it they guarantee the settings to be stable.
