Picking a RAM

Go to solution Solved by Lotus,

Unlike CPUs, all DDR3 memory sticks share the same architecture. 1600MHz CAS 9 will perform the same as another stick with 1600MHz CAS 9. There's literally no difference in performance and operation. The presence and quality of a heat sink on the stick is mostly just for looks too. Really, if you care about price to performance, you'll get the cheapest stick with the specs you want.

could be, but it's a well known fact ballistix tracer sticks are not very good/reliable.

Except those arnt the tracers those are the tactical's. Completely different, also a completely unique set of ram. Crucial also uses all micron flash.

right...maybe they are better, maybe they are worst...i wouldnt pull the trigger on those thats for sure when there are so much other well priced better looking and known for their reliability kits out there honestly...maybe they are a good choice but i have had problems with a ballistix set and i know other people has had bad luck with them as well..so.. :)
