Im not sure if i either should get this or this. I plan on overclocking the 1600mhz one to 1800 at 7-7-7-18 anyway (I know it can do that) and i would probably want to OC the 1800 one too but i don't know how high yet. Basically I'm wondering what's faster; 1800mhz at 7-7-7-18 or 1800 and higher but at 8-8-8-20.

with a P5E3 Deluxe not sure buddy. 1600OC. id get maybe the one from directcanada but even so i don't have much expertise in review it would be good if someone point up about OCing with ram because i doubt P5E3 to get higher then 1600mhz stable DDR3 with a good CAS LAtency / Overclock there maybe other brand for around price it also money that play thing into ram
like G-skill DDR3 are Topnotch With Kingston hyper X LLK2 & Viper Recent 2000mhz with Green heatsink but those aim Asus Rampage Extreme / DFI X48 T3RS / Gigabyte DQ6 mostly

Well, i take it my mobo can OC ram pretty well according to this and i know the ram can take it too, according to this. They got the 1600mhz one up to 1840 with 1.9v 7-7-7-18. Right now i would want to put it in 1:2 with 450fsb, since my cpu is already at 4ghz, which would put the ram at 1800mhz.
