ULTIMATE DDR3

Hi Guys,
Whitch RAM will give you the best Performance and will be the most future proof?? ?
I have to pick one.

Kingston Hyper-X DDR3-2000MHz CL9-9-9-27

OR

Supertalent Gold Edition DDR3-1600MHz CL6-7-6-18

I will pay exactly the same for the Kingston and the Supertalent!!

I would go with the Kingston for two reasons:
1) I honestly haven't heard of Supertalent, and Kingston makes great products and great customer support.
2) DDR3-2000MHz will last much longer, I don't mean physically, but in the technical world. Technology changes rapidly, sub-par technology gets outdated quickly. It's a good investment to purchase a near top-end component.
Hope this helps!

Recent reviews indicate that current software and CPU/Mobo setups respond more to RAM Timings than they do RAM speeds. So from that standpoint, the Supertalent is the better option.

I've heard of Supertalent, but haven't personally owned any of their stuff. Kingston makes good RAM, and they also make mediocre generic RAM. The Hyper-X should be good stuff though.

To be honest, I don't think you're really going to see any performance difference between 2000Mhz and 1600Mhz though. If you can get the Hyper-X to run @ tighter settings it may well be worth it though. *shrugs*

What are the voltage requirements of the two? The Supertalent is probably going to perform better considering the tighter timings.

Hey, great stuff dudes. The Kingston and Supertalent both run at 1.65V,...... Looks like most people say the DDR3-1600 CL6-7-6-18 wil be faster than the DDR3-2000 CL9-9-9-27 and that the super talent is also very future proof,............. Do you guys agree?? ? (n Like the Kingston RAM more but im going for the performance even if it is supertalent) Do you think its whise??

I have the Corsair Dominator 6GB 1600MGHZ The news ones timing is 7-7-7-20 this one one of the fastest and I would get that instead off them.
