Should I wait for Corsair or use Kingston Memory?

[jonleekan]

I ordered a computer from an online vendor. The computer is suppose to have 2 GB of DDRAM 2GB TWINX 2048-3200 RT by Corsair. I discovered on the day that the vendor was suppose to ship the computer that the memory was out of stock and on order. About 5 day have pasted and they still don't have the memory. However, they said that they can ship it today with Kingston memory. Otherwise, I will have to wait another week. What is the difference is performance and should I wait for the Corsair memory?

Whats the computer?

My recomendation would be to just go for the value ram. You loose a small amount of performance (5% maybe) and save over $100.

Hi,

If they are charging you the same then wait. If they are discounting it then take the Kingston memory.

The difference in price is about $80.
