If you aren't overclocking then you can get whatever RAM you want and won't see much difference. Yes, lower numbers are better for RAM timings, but it doesn't make much of a difference. Maybe a frame or 2 more with low latency stuff. As long as it has a CAS Latency of 2 or 2.5 you're good.

If you aren't overclocking then you definitely don't need PC3700. Just get a good set of PC3200 with lower timings but still at a decent price. You add Corsair back onto your list since you aren't OCing.

Those are pretty much the same RAM from both Corsair or OCZ. Get which ever your prefer or is cheaper.
