I am building a new rig with an E6600 and an evga 680i sli in India.

I need to pick up the memory from the local frys or centralcomputers is Santa Clara.

Reason I can't wait for an online order is that my friend who is bringing it along is returning to india in 2 days time and he needs to go to the store and pick up the stuff.

From what I see in their websites, they do not have too many options for memory. Mostly OCZ and Corsair. I doubt if these have the Micron D9. Could anyone suggest the best memory among these options:

1) Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4 2GB - $290:

2) OCZ 2GB DDR2 PC2-6400 800MHz CL 4-4-4-15 / Platinum / Revision 2 / Mirrored XTC Heatspreader Dual Channel Kit OCZ2P800R22GK - $255

(This is Crossfire certified and not SLI certified, will this cause any trouble? I don't intend to use the feature. Will be manually setting the timings)


3) OCZ PC2-6400 2GB Kit (1GBX2) 800Mhz 4-4-4-15 Rev2 DDR2 Plat OCZ2P800R22GK
- $242

(I think this module is the same as the above except for the CF support. Could anyone confirm this?)


Is it worth paying so much for a Corsair in lieu of OCZ? Are there any known incompatibility issues between the 680i and the OCZ modules?

Thanks.
