Hello,
Is there a "BIG" difference in speed (because there is a big price difference) between memory sticks 7-7-7-20 / 8-8-8-24 / 9-9-9-24???

Oh, and while asking a question, why choose Corsair over OCZ which is more affordable?

Thanks for your answers

    Good evening,
    - Case 7 is better than 8 or 9.... at the same frequency.
    - Some brands are better if you want to overclock the RAM... that said, OCZ is very good... it's mostly a question of category... and this within the same brand, hence the existence of larger heatsinks or even fans to cool the overclocked RAM...
    There are different categories in all brands and the warranties are long-lasting with all these brands, including entry-level models....

    You also need to check the max voltage (1.65V) if you have an i7, i5... from Intel...

    Personally, I'm really into the Crucial Ballistix (with LED) 1333 CAS 7.7.7 24.

    But is it worth paying more for CL7 than for CL8 which is $50 cheaper (3x2GB)

    And what's the advantage of buying Corsair compared to OCZ?
