I am building a computer and have found two virtually identical (in my view) options for RAM:
Option 1: "G.SKILL F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL Ripjaws 8GB 2X4GB DDR3-1333 CL9-9-9-24 240PIN DIMM Memory"
Option 2: "G.SKILL Ripjaws X F3-10666CL9D-8GBXL 8GB 2X4GB DDR3-1333 CL9-9-9-24 Memory"
My motherboard is an Intel BOXDP67DEB3.
What's the difference between the two options?

It's all about compatibility.
Option 2 is newer and slightly more expensive as a result. It supports the Intel P67 whereas Option 1 does not. In terms of performance, they are both identical from the technical specifications listed on the website.
As your motherboard is Intel P67, you should get Option 2.

This is what I thought, and exactly the reassurance I needed. Thanks! – goku – 2011-04-22T19:03:36.717

They look like the exact same RAM to me. I'm wondering how they're different at all. I can see that the model numbers are ever so slightly different. Will one work with my motherboard while the other won't? – goku – 2011-04-22T18:56:50.127
