RAM for ASUS P6T Deluxe

Post by Sowser »

I've been browsing RAM online and have a few questions for the venerable experts. I've decided to go with a 6GB kit in order to future proof my system for a while and am leaning towards either OCZ or GSkill for performance to cost to reliability ratio. I got a little confused when getting into the specifics however. 6GB of GSkill running at 1600 with 8-8-8-21 timings ranged from $130-$300. Is that due to binning with the higher priced RAM being better for over clocking? The most attractive buy to me was G.SKILL F3-10666CL7T-6GBPK 1333 7-7-7-18 with a price tag of about $130 with OCZ OCZ3P1600LV6GK 1600 7-7-7-24 for $150 coming in a close second. Would there be much performance gain between the 1333 and 1600? (I'll be gaming and video editing) Any input on GSkill VS. OCZ in general? Any specific recommendations from anyone with an ASUS P6T Deluxe for RAM around $150?
Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.
