Need serious help choosing DDR3 RAM

[Nomanor]

Guys, i'm getting a new rig and need to pick up some good memory.

Specs are:

CP: Core i7-975 Extreme
MB: ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 (best, because of fitting issues into Antec 1200)
Cooling: Air


Now the RAM questions:

Money not being an issue, Which one of the two woukd you pick:

Mushkin Redline 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800), 1.65V, 6-7-6-18 - ($199)
CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800), 1.65V, 8-8-8-24 - ($170)


Or go balls out and get somethign faster?

I wouldn't buy either of the kits you linked.
All things considered > "speed", "voltage" and "CAS"... I'd buy the Corsair TR3X6G1333C7 G kit :thumbsup::laugh:

I don't get it. The Mushkin i linked beats it in both Speed and CAS.

I listed three criteria that I took into consideration.

So you picked lower voltage over better SPEED+CAS ?

Is that right?

 

[Blain]

I don't buy memory based on a single criteria.
I look at... 1. Type, 2. Capacity, 3. Voltage (for the type), 4. Speed, 5. CAS and finally Price.

DDR3 JEDEC voltage standard is 1.5v
