Which Ram is better

[syringe]

Hi, im in a daze of wheter to buy OCZ Platinum Series 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) System Memory or OCZ Enhanced Latency 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory

they both have the same timing of 2-3-2-5

i'd like to know what the diffrence is b/c i dont see a diffrence really. i also have a crucial ballistix 512. i wash wondering if the crucial would go with the dual channel or single stick?

enhanced latency isn't actually a series of ram from OCZ it is kind of like a model. they make OCZ Gold EL (enhanced latency) and OCZ Platinum EL etc. so i would assume you are talking about platinum still in which case you might be looking at the same ram

Well dual channel will run your ram faster than single channel, but it uses 2 slots, which will make future upgrades more difficult.

If you dont plan to upgrade your memory for a while, get the 2x512. If you plan to buy another 1gig stick sometime in the near future, get the 1gig stick

Get the 2x 512MB. Why would you waste your money on good ram to run it in single channel?

You could buy the same Crucial stick to run dual channel.
If u want to purchase OCZ RAM then choose one with low latency if possble ( assume that u r not OCing ). If u are OCing, go with the RAM with more FSB speed.

go for dual-channel low latency. theres a huge diff in speed than 1GB stick
