Not relevant to the discussion? now if the argument would be that 4GB sticks with high performance are not cheap, yes that would be correct, but most people who need a high amount of memory don't need speed

I want both High Speed and lots of Ram, that is why 24 gig of memory is out of my price range

Sean, I am looking at these sticks to pair with my upcoming Sandy Bridge system, do you know how they should perform on a P67/Z68 board, or do you have any recommendations on a better set. Thanks!

That kit will work well on SB, but you would need to run them at DDR3-1866 or hope they will overclock to DDR3-2133 as SB does not have a memory multi for DDR3-2000.

For a few $ more you can get the 996996 kit that is rated for DDR3-2133

I'm considering these memory modules

I don't know how much I'm interested in OC'ing at this point, but is low voltage memory better, worse or neither for OC'ing?

The 996998 kit will work fine on most platforms. They will overclock some, but not as well as a Redline kit.
What platform are you going to be using, SB, AM3?

sb 2500k

And while I've got you here what's the difference between these two kits?

Mushkin Enhanced Redline 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR...

Mushkin Enhanced Redline 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR...

The 996998 kit works well on SB, and because CPU overclocking is done by multiplier rather than BCLK on SB the memory does not play much of a role in CPU overclocking.

The difference between those two kits is the heat spreaders.

Already deactivated it seems very common with Mushkin to tell you the truth... everytime I see a kit I want they are deactivated a month later sometimes earlier. Is there a reason for this? Makes it impossible to match kits as I was trying to do

Alright you fellas at Mushkin. When searching around for SSDs on Newegg I saw a new one by y'all, the Chronos. As opposed to some of the other vendors I feel safer buying a product with Mushkin written on it so I'm gonna take the plunge in a bit.

...Treat me right.
