I'd probably go for the OCZ personally, it looks like it has the best timings, since the reviews on the second link show them to be a bit exaggerated

that's what I was talking about and I think I'd go for 4-4-4-8 over 4-3-3-12 but that's me, they should be pretty close to each other though

nah, the timings will help, but they cost too much
