Difference in RAM?

[noahsheldon]

I was currently building a new PC and am currently deciding on RAM. I was originally going to go with this RAM (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f43000c15q232grbb) apposed to this one (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f43000c15q32grbb) as the only difference being how many sticks it is and a decent savings. Then I saw this (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f43000c15q32grbb) I like this last one better as it is less sticks allowing for more expansion later. But, I was wondering, what is the difference between the second link and third link as there is a price difference but they appear to be the same thing. Thank you in advance.

The second and third link are exactly the same...

Thank you so much for the answer. If I may ask then why such a difference in price?

No, legitemetly the links are the same. I think you pasted the wrong link.

I apologize. I didn't read your first answer correctly. This is the link I meant to put as the second link. (The more expensive 4x8gb)http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f43000c15q32grk

The difference is the timings on them. Also, the colors are different.

Here are links to the Newegg pages, better describing them.

RAM #2

RAM #3

RAM #3

So I assume the more expensive one has better timing? Also, is the difference big enough that I should go with two or three?

Yes, the more expensive one has better timing. However, you really shouldn't recieve any performance drops from RAM #3 to RAM #2. So no, not much of a difference.

Thank you so much. Looks like I will be going with Ram 3
