Hi,

I want to buy some RAM. Could someone tell me which one is better?

Corsair 2GB DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 Memory CL5 1.8V

Corsair 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 XMS2 DHX Memory Kit Non-ECC Unbuffered CL5

They both have the same Latency Timings.

Thanks,

There would be no noticable difference at all. Other than the 1 link is for 2 gig, the other for 4 gig. Def go for the 4 gig, although you'll need a 64 bit operating system to make full use of it.
Hope this is what you were asking.
Ps. the 4 gig kit of memeroy would also overclock better with those heatsinks fitted. Day to day performance from the 2 types of ram would be exactly the same. Only the extra 2 gig in the 2nd kit would make any difference to multi tasking etc.
