Ive got my 2.8C sitting next to me, and my Asus P4P800 deluxe is coming. Im trying to decide what ram to get. Its going to be hyperx, because you can PM and use a coupon at staples, but does anyone have any opinions which is better. I dont "plan" on overclocking, but who knows. Its like a $15 difference between the 2x256 Kit of 3200 to 3500 kit. Might as well go with 3500 right. Im just thinking in terms of timings, I know 3500 has higher timings, but if I am only going to be using it at 400 and not 434, I will be able to have lower timings correct. Prolly be best for selling in future or possible overclock also. Gonna order in about an hour or so. Any ideas welcome. I just want fast/stability. 😛 (dont we all)
 
You shouldnt bet on higher speed memory being able to do tight timings at lower speed, although there is a very good chance it will be able to do so. In some cases, especially when reaching super high speeds, like the OCZ Gold memory, the memory will not be able to run tight timings at all.

That said I think its a pretty safe bet with the Kingston, personally I would go ahead and get the 3500.
