Corsair or TwinMOS?

[BoomAM]

Hi.
Im trying to decide if its work the extra £70 for Corsair memory.
Vote above.
Will be going in a A64 system in Feb.
--------------------------------------------------
TwinMOS 1GB (2x512MB) DDR PC3200 Dual Channel Kit @ £116.33
OR
Corsair 1GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX (2x512MB) CAS2 @ £187.88

Twinmos are great sticks. Actually go to amdforums.com and order from the guy selling them in the for sale forum. He has them for cheap and they come with the ch-5 chips and lifetime warrenty

The place that sells both cannot guarantee the TwinMOS having CH-5 chips on it.
On the Forums for the same store, i get mixed opinions on the TwinMOS. Some say its good, other say its crap.
I dont mind shelling out on the Corsair, i just wanted to know if it was worth it. Cos memory aint exactely a component you should skimp on is it?

No, you do NOT want to be skimpy on memory. But TwinMOS isn't a bad brand. Just make sure you can find some with the Winbond modules

I have TwinMOS, as does a guy at work, it works great and is very cheap for what you get IMO.
I don't overclock mine since my CPU can't handle it the guy at work is running his at 230 or something though(PC3200) without any problems.

IMO TwinMOS is the best price/performance out there.

I've tried the twinmos pc3200 ch-5 in my epox 8rda+ and it work awesome, fsb = 223mhz. But decided to buy corsair pc3200LL for my p4 system since i heard its OC potential is better. But again it varies with users.

I`ll probably go for the Corsair. But......

Whats the difference between;
Corsair 1GB DDR XMS3200C2 Pro TwinX (2x512MB) CAS2 @ £201.55
Corsair 1GB DDR XMS3200LL Pro TwinX (2x512MB) CAS2 @ £202.69

Apart from ones £1 more than the other!.
From an OCing standpoint, would either of the above be better than the original Corsair that i suggested?

##EDIT##
From what i can scrape from the Corsair Website, the "LL" model is the best for OCing.
And again, would i see much difference in OCing potential if i went for the TwinX Pro LL series over the standard TwinX?

Go for the TwinMOS. It's cheap quality. You pay less, but you still get great stuff.

TwinMos also has PC3700 and PC4000 memory modules.
I've had good experience with the 2x 512 MB modules PC3700 from here:
http://www.showtimecomputer.com/cpumem/ddr.asp
Currently running stable on Abit IC7; P4 2.4c overclocked to 3.2 GHz; 270 FSB 5:4 ratio; memory at 216 MHz; 2.5-7-2-2.

Theres no guarantee that OC UK can supply me with CH-5 chips on the TwinMOS. Which according to alot of websites, unless they have the CH-5 chips on them, then they`re pretty crap. So i will almost definately go for the Corsair. Or another brand of memory, that OC UK stock.
