OCZ Reaper HPC Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 4-4-4-15

OCZ SLI-Ready Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 5-4-4-15

both are 2.1v

and if your wondering memtest hates my current ram test 5 w/ around 80 errors(thats @ 5-5-5-18 @ 2.0v which is what it defaults to) and comp wont take it @ 4-4-4-12 even w/ 2.1 v (less or not equal blue screen error)

I like G skill, got a pair of those not too long ago, they were 89.99 when i bought em, but oh well, they rock.

Ive never gone OCZ though.......they could be good too.

I think SLI ready ram only gives u an advantage when your in SLI, and that advantage is not too much.

SLi RAM is a gimmick, there is no reason to pay out that much money for it when there are better sticks for cheaper.

It is basically the same as the Vista ready monitors and SLi ready gamepads :p
