G.Skill vs. Corsair XMS2

Well, those fancy pants heatsinks on the Corsair should be worth $100 alone. Don't 'cha think? :rolleyes:
 
Corsair is just the #1 selling ram company. I've heard lots of good things about G.Skill; although, honestly, I will stick with Corsair. Brand loyalty you could call it.

Edit: Actually those heatsinks the best design to come out on the market thus far.
 
You'll only be able to tell the difference till you do it. Or just look up some benchmarks?

Edit: As far as overclocking goes, I've heard Crucial ram is really good for that.
 
Crucial is good for overclocking? I have looked at Corsair, G.Skill, and OCZ. I'll take a look at crucial.

Two of those, still less than the Corsair, look okay. But I was looking at this: 4-4-4-12. The Corsair has 5-5-5-18, and the G.Skill: 4-4-4-15. Should I be worrying about this?

*EDIT* I just noticed that the Crucial I linked above was 2 sticks of 1GB. I would still only need 2 kits of it, but is 2-2GB better than 4-1GB? I'm guess it'd be better for upgrading, but what else?

If I was super picky (which I'm generally not) would generally higher or lower latency be better? And I edited my last post, any comment?
 
No no no... I'm planning on getting 4GB of RAM. I was just wondering which would be better, 4 sticks of 1GB (total 4GB) or 2 sticks of 2GB (total of 4GB as well). I know the power would be the same, but is there any problem with 4 of 1GB other than the fact that I couldn't add more ram in the future?
 
most 2gb sticks have higher latencies and aren't designed for performance gaming, there's a few but usually way overpriced and again higher latencies.
