Hey guys. I received all of my new parts today except the ram (ugh!).

Originally, I ordered 1GB of Corsair TWINX PC3200 ram (cas2)

But it was backordered and they're not expecting any until next Wednesday.

Would it be a better idea to go with 1GB of Kingston HyperX PC3500 for $30cdn more?


See the Kingston here:

And the Corsair here:

Corsair and wait or Kingston and now for more?

Edit: CPU will be a 2500+ overclocked as far as it'll go on air. Board is an NF7-S (only supports up to DDR400 with rev 2, which I have, right?)
 
Ither one will work fine. They both have CH-5 chips so it doesn't really matter. You could also consider Mushkin being they make the best PCB's in the biz and their lvl 1 stuff is pretty cheap. LVL 1 uses CH-5 chips like the Corsair and Kingston.
 
I would get Mushkin, but I can't find a Canadian supplier (who will do 1 order) that has a decent price on it.
