What's the difference?

They're exactly the same, it's just that one is being sold directly from the manufacturer. Manufacturers don't adjust the price on their site for price drops for some reason.

 

BTW why are you buying high speed RAM? Video Editing?

I think the one on Newegg says it's SDRAM but the other isn't?

Nope, just different words for the same thing, don't let the big corporation man fool you.

That's just over 1600, it's not that much higher, it's fine.

But that's still money, you could buy a significant amount of costco pretzel rolls with that!

The place of purchase and the price are the only two differences.

Same model number, same kit. Imo getting 1866 over 1600 isn't worth it unless its cheaper than 1600. And getting Corsair in general isn't worth high cost compared to some other kits.
