Hi Guys
Yes i did read Stickys post about it but i am afraid it was totally lost on me sorry
So my question is i would like to upgrade to ddr3 ram
hopfully this is what i need ;

Corsair Memory 4GB (2X2GB KIT) DDR3 1600MHZ 240PIN UNBUFFERED

dabs.com - Corsair Memory 4GB (2X2GB KIT) DDR3 1600MHZ 240PIN UNBUFFERED (TW3X4G1600C9DHX)

which is at a great price of £151
Also there is :

4GB Corsair Twin3X DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz

4GB Corsair Twin3X DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz XMS3 DHX (7-7-7-20) Dual Channel kit

at a much higher price of £330.88

of course i know you get what you pay for and all that and the latter would proberly be the better pair to get as i supect it's all in the latencies,
the cheaper one being 9-9-9-24 or double my money for 7-7-7-20
however iv'e know idea what this would mean to my system.

I will be going to a Vista x64 when i upgrade so what are the pros&cons of this decision ?

Many Thanks
