My old RAM stick(Kingston 4GB 1333) recently went kaput, and it seems that the 1st and 4th slots of my motherboard aren't working as well.

I RMA'd the stick and will wait to see what happens, but that will take upwards of 10-15 days.

I decided to buy a new Stick in the meanwhile.
Availibility and popularity give me two options:

Corsair Vengeance 8GB CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10
http://www.amazon.in/Corsair-Vengeance-DDR3-Memory-CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10/dp/B005T63BJM/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1449675993&sr=1-1
and
Kingston HyperX Fury HX318C10F/8
http://www.amazon.in/Kingston-FURY-Memory-Module-1866MHz/dp/B00J8E91UO/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1449676034&sr=1-3
Since the 1st and 4th slots are out(as verified using a 1GB stick from my work PC) dual channel isn't an option. Which of these 2 is better? My motherboard is an ASUS P8P67 PRO and an Intel i7 2600 Sandy Bridge CPU.

The Kingston appears to be slightly cheaper than the Corsair.

I'd go the Corsair, the Fury use PnP vs the norm of XMP that most all DRAM uses, which should be supported by your mobo, but many P67 chipset mobos never had their BIOSs updated to support PnP. Keep in mind you can prob run these at 1600, but may require manual setup - if you need help give a holler.
