I'm building a gaming computer and have an abit aa8xe mobo and was wondering what memory I could get (atleast 1gb) for around 150$ or cheaper. I'm not a huge overclock and this is my first build, but i was looking at this:

Or would i be better off getting 2 gbs of this stuff

I'm not set on these so any better suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
 
I would take the OCZ stuff, firstly it was tighter timings and plus its much better quality ram compared to the corsair value ram.
 
is it the lower the timings the better? Because the OCZ is 4-4-4-8 and the XMS is 4-4-4-12.
 
Yip lower is better, in that case the ocz only seems to have a little advantage over the XMS so i would still go for them.
 
I would have to say lower timmings is better than faster Mhz that the ram is running at.

I would still say go for the OCZ Gold Series 1GB DDR2 667 (PC2 5400), it has an balance between them.
