Who can answer this memory question?

Ok, what is the difference in the following two sticks of ram:

They appear to be the same but one is a '4 T' and the other is a '16 T'

What the heck does that mean? Is there really any difference?

If its talk about what i think its talking about. The one with the 4T could run faster. But it depends on what you are doing with it. Do I think you'll notice a difference....nope. Would i get either of them...nope...i would spend 7 bucks more and get this http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-146-542&catalog=147&depa=1

If you're not going to overclock, any stick of ram thats stable will work. No reason to spend an extra 20 bucks on ram that can go slightly faster. Thats of course, if the generic/cheap ram is stable. From my exp, 100% of the ram thats worked out of the box thats been cheap has run fine for years, 100% stable.
