The Corsair Vengeance 8gb is a better deal.
How is it a better deal? The Ripjaws are only $15 more and they're DDR3 2133 instead of DDR3 1600.
If you are running Sandybrige you are better off with 1333 or 1600 RAM. No real world performance difference as Sandy mobos have a heck of a time running anything over 1600. I have 1866 RAM and I can't get it to run over 1600. So I wish I had just bought 1600 RAM and saved a few bucks.

Wrong, it can be a 4% difference at 2560x1600 in games, let alone real applications.
Shame these aren't cas9 like my 2133 or I would go for it.
WOW it CAN be a 4% difference!!!!! Look, I have nice G.Skill ram so I'm not hating. I just don't think it's a big deal as I can't get my RAM stable at anything over 1600.
If you can't get your RAM stable at rated speeds then it could be your sticks that are bad.

Shhhh, he would rather make uninformed blanket statements about an entire platform!
Stick are 100% fine. Anything over 1600 is considered overclocking for Sandybridge, hence the problems. Look it up.
really its anything over 1333mhz, about half way down the page.
True and I agree. But MOST board will run 1600. It's when you get over 1600 when things get hairy.
