Hey guys.
Im looking to upgrade from my current 6gb of triple channel corsair xms ddr3 1600 because battlefield 3 is using all 6 gigs up to the point where I literally have 20 megs left and I believe I would benefit by getting 12 gigs of triple channel ram however im unsure of what to purchase that will give me the best performance and id also like to know what the best value would be. I've read information on what the ddr speeds mean and the cas latency means but im not sre what would be the best that im looking for.
I have this right now:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145286
I also have an i7-920
asus x58 extreme
On windows 7 64-bit

Now im trying to decide between the vengeance ram the sniper series by skill or the other corsair cmd ram and im also attempting to keep it at 1.5v to keep my i7 safe even though I've been using 1.65v. Is there a better choice than what im trying to decide between? And is getting the xms at 9 cas at ddr3-1600 than the corsair vengeance at ddr3-2000 at 10 cas? Like how do I know what's faster and why? I would like to be educated. Thank you very much for your assistance.
