In the real world it's not going to make a lick of difference.

If I could only pick from those two, I'd go with the Vitesta for the CAS4 timings. The voltage is similar in both cases... 1.9 - 2.1, vs 2.0 - 2.1. I'll bet you won't need more than 1.9 - 1.95v for either one @ 400 FSB.

Personally though, I'd pass on both and wait for these to come back into stock if you want good low 1.8v sticks. Timings are decent too at 5-4-4-12:

Mushkin 996587 2 x 2s

yeah I would have got those Mushkin ones but had to order them today so just got the Vitesta. I was just wondering why the other A-Data one is advertised for gaming opposed to the Extreme Edition which has tighter timings.

Probably for no other reason than to help it sell.
