Ram for the EPOX 8RDA+ ?

[Korporativ]

trying to decide between the
Corsair 512 PC3200
and
Corsair 512 PC3200 XMS

Now all i can figure out is the difference is basicaly one comes with heat spreaders and is a CAS latency of 2 instead of 2.5. Is it worth the difference in price ultimately? I'm going to couple the board with a barton 2500+

If you are going to o/c it, then yes, get the XMS..if all you care about it surfing/chatting/MS word, i'd say don't bother..

CAS latency of 2 will be faster then 2.5
also the XMS is a better overclocker
and with latency 2 you can always set it to 2.5 to get a higher overclock
