    I would get the Corsair...but I do love Crucial...IMO, they make the best ram...

    Out of the two, Crucial is the faster RAM with its 2-2-2-6 timings vs 2-3-3-6. However since you're asking which is the best value, it would be the Corsair.

    $105.

    That's a pound sign, for British pounds.

    Why would anyone pay in Euros? Howsaboot the fact that not everyone lives in the U.S? Hmm? Does that sound okay to the wittle Amwecan?

    Damnit, you make me so angry I want to put my hands through the monitor and choke you.

    I wouldn't. Firstly sites don't always do international postage, and when you do order it then you'l get the shipping costs, any costs from taxes(not quite sure about those) etc, not to mention the fact that you might not have a warranty on it outside of the USA.

    Also the price is £71 for the corsair RAM including VAT, thats what you'l be paying. VAT is 17.5% onto the price, what the government charges.

    You won't notice any real world difference with RAM unless you OC it so i wouldn't worry about it, go for the cheaper option, particullary if it has a life warranty(often they do...)
