Which 4GB RAM is better?Regular Kingston, or HyperX?

[Milka Asow]

I have one regular 4GB Kingston installed right now and i want to buy another one, but i can't decide which one.There isn't big difference in price, so what will be better?

There are differences in speed:
- mhz, which determines the clock speed (1600, 1866, 2133, etc.)
- cas latency or CL, which determines how many instructions can be done per clock cycle

Some memory can be more expensive because of heatspreaders being mounted on them, allowing cooler operation or (more room for) overclocking.

Since you are getting an additional one next to your current ram, you should get one that matches your current ram's speed or faster. Your computer will always set the ram speed of all ram at the same speed, and will set it at the speed of the slowest ram.
