Kingston Genesis which set?

[Frenchtoastcheeseandbeans]

Looking for memory to go with a 2500k and P67A UD4 setup.

Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB 1600Mhz - £74.39

or

Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 4GB 2133Mhz - 89.99

Not sure which to go with. Help!, ta

question is what do you want it for really mate.

the 2133 stuff is faster and will imrove your cpu performance while 8gb sounds better and gives you a bigger epeenor.

gaming wise 4gb is plenty but the faster speeds wont give you a huge leap in fps and 8gb is overkill anyway.

for other more professional things (video editing,server stuff or virtual machines on 1 pc) the more ram will help more than less faster stuff, for very heavy cpu intensive things on the other hand like f@h and such then the faster ram will be best.

Thanks for the reply, uhm well for the majority of the time I'll be gaming. Probably 75% gaming and 25% 3d work and browsing.

Although I don't think I'll make use of 8gb I'm not sure I can really see the 4gb being a better option.
