I'd take the 8GB as long as it's 2x 4GB sticks. Having a low cas latency doesn't make a huge difference for sandybridge processors, memory frequency is a lot more important. ( I'm assuming sandybridge based on the price of the memory and as it's dual channel, OP also has inel in processor specs).
Sorry..I am building another AMD system based on the 955 BE until Bulldozer is released...Thanks for the advice I will grab the 8 gigs.
8 Gigs CAS 9 I'm using CAS 6 but tbh, its not noticably faster. You may be able to make the CAS 9 run at CAS 8 or faster
Cas 9 is actually the kit that is the same price..it is the gskill sniper ones on the egg ..2 x 4 gig set.
Same, bought 4x4gb ddr3 1600mhz cl8 ram, Corsair Vengeance, their FREAKIN huge, the heatsinks on them... Unfortunately I can only use 3 sticks of ram but not the fourth as my giant cpu cooler just about blocks one slot... I am therefore using 12gb instead of 16gb... :bang:
