I'm building a low/medium budget gaming computer. I want to put in 2 2GB sticks in. I'm trying to decide between two different ones that are at around the same price point.
Both are DDR2 800 With a CL of 5.
One is mushkin with timings of 5-4-4-12 @ 1.8 V
The other is corsair with timings of 5-5-5-18 @ 1.9V
Until researching this computer I hadn't really heard much about mushkin, but had heard a lot about corsair. I don't know enough about the timings to know how big of a difference there is between those two. The thing that I am worried about is the mushkin memory doesn't have nearly as many reviews, and seems to have a few more at the lower end. With rebates they are both sitting around $70. Should I go with the mushkin with better timings, or would the corsair (or even something else around the same price) be better?
Any help would be appreciated.
