Get the slower stuff. Unless you're running an APU, it won't make that much of a difference.

where you are buying from?

 

there are many 8GB kits which are quite decent

 

and NewEgg always have 8GB kits on discount

 

speed is one of the factor when choosing RAM but look at the CAS latency

 

the lower the CAS, the faster the memory is

There really isn't a noticeable difference between ram speeds. I overclocked my ram just because I could, not because I felt I needed it. There is a huge difference between having 4gb and 8 however. So go for the second :)

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨
