Answer» If you where given the choice between these two RAM modules: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010170147%201052129233%201052315794%201052438355%204017&StoreType=-1&CompareItemList=N82E16820231281%2cN82E16820231282&bop=And which would you choose? The SPECS are exactly the same; word for word. Is one better than the other? Or are they the same RAM modules with different Heat spreaders. If there is a difference, is it enough to justify the extra $15? NNJZ (FORMERLY known as Image)The only difference seems to be that one is the Trident SERIES and one is the Ripjaws series. I'm not familiar with this brand of memory. This MIGHT shed some light: http://www.gskill.com/products.php?c1=1&c2=3&c3=31Quote from: Image on DECEMBER 17, 2009, 08:39:33 AM If there is a difference, is it enough to justify the extra $15? NNJZ (Formerly known as Image) In real world performance i doubt it very much. It's easy to get cought up in the performance hysteria but i grant if you tried both those modules you wouldn't see a blind bit of difference (unless your an extreeme overclocker of course)I plan on overclocking, but nothing extreme. I appreciate the info guys. Thanks soybean and matt_littel. The only thing left is to decide whether the trident's cool looking heatspreaders are worth the extra $15.
