Corsair Vengeance (Pro) or G.Skill Ripjaws X Series Memory?

[Tweed]

Going for an DDR3-1866, 8 GB (2x4 GB). Which Memory card should I get? Looking for better performance, not looks. And cheap as well. Those of you saw corsair, should I go Pro or non-pro. If you can please explain why you chose Corsair or G.skill

Well I went with the Vengeance Pros for looks but also they are the newer versions which mean they will clock better and have better latency.

The Corsair has slightly better timings.

I have always used Corsair and my favorite pair was my XMS2 DDR2 1066MHz 5-6-6-18 that I was able to clock to 1333MHz 4-4-4-15 while overclocking my Q6600 to 3GHz. Have been using Corsair since DDR and never had a problem with them.

BTW, Calvin rules.

Both are top quality brands , I only build with Gskill , I like their quality and durability.
