    The kingston may have been low latency ram, or a ripoff, although low latency isn't a very good value to begin with.

    Basically sums it up. There is more to RAM preformance than the size and speed, much like theres more to CPUs than it's speed and # of cores.

    Now, the everyday user doesn't need to know more than speed and size, but the rest of the major specs of RAM that people look at are Timing and Voltage.
    And Cas Latency is part of the timing.

    Those are two other things that effect a RAM's performance.

    And then theres also the warranty. If a company offers a life-time warranty, you may pay a little bit more for that warrenty.

    Theres also the quality of the RAM (ie: it's failure rate)
    But don't let the price be a judge of it's quality. Read reviews to get an idea on it's quality.
