Which Memory Should I Choose

Since I've had to RMA my G.Skill DDR3 1600 memory back to Newegg for a refund, I've been looking to replace it with something else. At the moment there are not a whole lot of choices, but I've narrowed my choices done to the following two.


1st - Newegg.com - mushkin 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory


2nd - Newegg.com - OCZ Platinum 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory



Which 4 gig set do you think would work better with my Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 and a e8400 processor. I'm leaning toward the Mushkin memory at the moment, but have heard some good things about the OCZ memory also.

I've decide on the 1st choice, just to let everyone know.

Mushkin is a fine set of memory....... dunno y so few DHers use them......

drwho, so how's it going with the new memory kit so far? have you overclocked your E8400?

Hi PJ. I ordered the Mushkin memory from Newegg last night, I won't get it till Thursday (May 8th). I will post back after I get the memory installed and have time to set things up properly.
