Answer 1

Well at least one person noticed. The Kingston has a better CAS latency, which only happens to be the second most important specification to look at next to MHZ speed. Easily go with the Kingston. Honestly, people who did not see this really should not be answering this type of question, as they clearly don't know enough to be trying.

Answer 2

I am gonna go with the Kingston RAM as theirs tends to last longer and although you could probably OC PNY's RAM more it would die much quicker than Kingston's would.

Answer 3

Both will give you the exact same performance. PNY is just a "no name" brand whereas "Kingston" is a known and trusted brand.

Answer 4

one 4gb it takes up much less room and leaves extra area in the different slots thats what i think of anyhow. and in case you have 4 slots then fill all of them :-) use the sixty 4 bit vista version and you will positioned up to 128 gigs of ram

Answer 5

about the same. if you dont know the difference, you probably wont notice one. but i've heard good things about Kingston

Answer 6

Hi. Pretty much identical performance.

Answer 7

the kingston one has a better cas latency

Answer 8

either looks good..I like PNY...what is your FSB speed??1066mhz ram is better or 1800mhz...the higher the bus speed=faster

Answer 9

seems the same from what you have listed...whatever has the higher number should be it, both these have the same numbers.........
