Actually, i'd say in either case, get the 8000.. it's cheaper.. and rated for 1000MHz. Timings aren't as important as RAM-speed...though in all likelyhood, both sets will probably perform very similarly. GL  |
Good attention to detail!!! I missed that and assumed that the more expensive stuff was the PC2 8000. (That's what happens when you post at 6 AM on a Sunday... :) ).
Yeah, go for the PC2 8000. :)
