Difference at all?

I cannot decide which pair of sticks to get. They both are XMS and the same price with the same specs. The only obvious difference to me is the color of the heatspreaders. Does anybody know of another difference? Or should I just choose whichever color suits me?

Here is the link to the comparison: XMS Comparison

looks like they're exact same.. i can't see any difference. if i were you i'd go with the one on the right. why? more reviews, and i have the same thing (only the 2gb set).. and i can tell you i've never had any problems with them.

however, i had to set my timings to 2-3-3-6.. when i got mine (and i think all of this specific ram is like this) the timings were 3-3-3-8. evidentally corsair sets the timings like this so the ram will work with ease in almost any system..
 
looks like there is no difference between them. and as beyond said i would go with the second one cause it has more reviews.
 
umm yea that guys timings were set to 3-3-3-8 because of his motherboard. i have the same thing except i got the pair with the timings 2-2-2-5 (faster) and my old motherboard set them slower. simple fix though, just turn the timings down.
as long as you have a newer motherboard though (like my current one) the timings should be just fine.
CXMS = win.
 
I would say go with the right one, since it would look better in your case and it has more reviews.
