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

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.
