Question about RAM

[the wombat]

Hey guys, I'm going to be building a new system soon and while deciding what memory to get i got a little confused. What's the difference between a Corsair Value Select dual channel kit and just getting two sticks of Corsair Value Select RAM? Does the kit come with anything special? Because getting it the other way is cheaper (Not by much i know, but I need to bring my system under $1500 CDN)

There's nothing different AFAIK.

I'm running Mushkin and Corsair in dual channel just fine. Bought them two years apart too

Whoa super speed reply! Thanks man, i thought it wouldnt make a difference. Anyone else got an opinion?

All the dual channel pack means is that you are guranteed to get a compatible pair. But 99.99999% of the time if you use the same kind of ram from the same manuf you will not have issues

Thanks man! Looks like my question was answered, but if anyone else wants to say something, I'm all ears.

Maybe I just got lucky but I have a stick of SuperTalent and one OCZ (both DDR2 PC2-4200 which is 533mhz) and they work fine in dual channel at 600mhz.

I've had it for about three months o/c from 533 to 600 mhz, no problems.
