Hey,

What's the difference between these three models of Corsair memory?

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-145-524&depa=0

They're all Xtreme Memory Speed Series, and all are "xtra-low" latency. Only real difference I see is that two have heat spreaders, while the one on top has flashing LEDs. If there truly is a performance difference, can someone tell me which one to get for a gaming system with an athlon-64 processor?

Thanks

Ones got the fancy heatspreader with lights. Another is with a fancy heatspreader. The last is a baseline memory.

The one on top doesn't have heatspreader though...only the fancy lights :D

And the last one DOES have heatspreader but is also the most expensive, despite it being the "baseline memory".

kind of weird..
