Which ram to get for X3 710?

I really wish I would have gotten more of that cheapass HP ram, but who would have though 9gb between two machines was not going to suffice! Well, I gave one away to my friend, 4gb was gone to my cousin along with a computer I gave him, and the remaining 4gb is in my secondary rig.

So here I am, trying to find some more ram to rebuild my main gaming rig. As mentioned in title, I plan on pairing it up with AMD P2 X3 710 (obviously OC'ed). Here are some ongoing deals at egg:

The corsair seems to be a popular choice, but what about the OCZ? That's a whopping $5 cheaper! 😀

I am comfortable with rebates, and don't wanna pay more than $30 including shipping. This is all I saw while there, if you have better suggestions from another reputable etailer, feel free to chime in 🙂
 
Get the Corsair...
It's the only memory you have linked that adheres to the JEDEC standard of (1.8v +/- 0.1v) for DDR2.
It's also the cheapest RAM you've linked.
Did you just pick your $30 limit out of thin air? :roll:
 
yeah I this is supposed to be a budget build, so if the difference in real life (i.e. gaming) is negligible then I would be happy with that. That, unless an extra $10 or so gets me something significantly better.

Not only won't there be any "negligible" difference...
There won't be any difference, negligible or otherwise.
