4 vs 2

Just so u know, more sticks = more chance of the problem vs. 2 sticks : )

OK, what about this one?

SUPPORT FOR INTEL XMP
Intel Extreme Memory profiles (XMP) technology provides a robust, profile-based overclocking solution for novice and experienced overclockers. Easily overclock your platform by selecting the predefined profile in the BIOS, or manually adjust frequency and timings to extract maximum performance from your system.

What is your CPU?

U can use this RAM, it is 1600, but your mobo will not loose any performance.

RAM has XMP and your mobo will be able to use the faster 1600MHz instead.

But, if u will insist on 1333MHz, this one is great!

I have 2600K and I am using 1600MHz @ 1600MHz without any problem.

The native recommended speed for the RAM with use with 2600K is 1333MHz.

Works great!

here are the specs
intel core i5 2400
Gigabyte H61M-S2P-B3
xfx pro series 450w
zotac gtx 560 1gb
seagate barracuda 3gb/s 500gb 7200rpm
as mine is a h61 overclocking is not possible so pls tell me the fastest 1333mhz 2x4gb ram for the above mobo..

Right, I already posted the RAM above : )

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL

from this site http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/m [...] dge/5..its said that cl7 performs better than cl9..my doubt is the ram u mentioned is cl9 is this enough and is g skill better than corsair..

It says Page not found, not really, but the differences are only with in the benchmarks only, in the real life u will never see the difference.

I like Corsair the best, never failed me or the PC I build!
Corsair
G Skill
Kingston ...and others ...

CAS Latency Timing

CAS latency timing is not something new to DDR3, and it is one of the few items that remains unchanged in the new format. You may wonder why I used the term "unchanged", when every enthusiast in every web forum world-wide has jumped on their soapbox and chastised anyone considering DDR3 because of the higher latencies. The simple fact is that you cannot extend base frequencies without also extending the CAS delay, and DDR3 is actually requires less latency in comparison.

As a quick refresher, you might recall that 1066MHz DDR2 began with CL5 and CL6 latencies, and eventually improved to CL4 in rare cases of special IC module binning. So it should be considered a vast improvement in comparison that 1333 MHz DDR3 can achieve CL5, and some 1800 MHz DDR3 modules such as Corsair's PC3-14400 kit which have received careful parts binning can operate on CL7 timings.

Putting this arguement into greater perspective, drift back to the first days of DDR2. I can still remember the complaints back then, although to a lesser extent, about the increased latency. Back in those days, 400 MHz DDR was often times seen with CL2 timings, so keep that in mind when you look at the 800 MHz DDR2 presently available at a 100% latency increase to CL4 timings. In comparison, the CL7 timings of 1600 MHz DDR3 are still ahead of the curve by 25%, or even up to 50% faster latencies with OCZ's CL6 DDR3.

The bottom line is that enthusiasts need to hone in on the truth behind the technology, and ignore the self-serving ignorance that often runs rampant in most technology forums. The same person who condescends the idea of using DDR3 is also the same person who doesn't know the reason for the difference in architecture. The reality of the matter is that DDR3 is actually a better memory in terms of latency timings, especially compared against DDR2. So now imagine how tight the timings will be once the now infantile manufacturing process evolves from 90 nm to 70 nm; these latency timings will only get better.

is there any huge difference between latencies on real world performance.. as my mobo cannot support 1600mhz im staying with a 1333mhz with highest speed otherwise surely i would go to 1600mhz..

Nothing that u would ever noticed in the real life, only synthetic benchmarks will show some differences. It would be in milliseconds. (1sec/1000milisec)

There are 3 top makers, does not matter, who do u get, if u are budget oriented.

It just happen that I like Corsair, because no problems.
I would buy G Skill too: )

The Corsair XMS 4GBx2 would work great.

Best ram purchase I've made in nearly 10 years. At $125.99 from one of these seller, I brought 2 boxes of these ram sticks to future proof my system for the price of 8GB of RAM anywhere else.
