Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix Tracer 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory w/ Green LEDs Model BL3KIT25664TG1608 - Desktop Memory
?
I ordered the 6GB set which is a triple channel kit, but being that my motherboard runs dual channel, I wanted to order ONE more stuck to make it 4 sticks for a total of 8GB of ram. Newegg.com does not appear to stock the same green stick, even searched the Crucial part number from Crucial's own site and all I found was that RED colored stick. I would just order the matching stick from Crucial.com but Newegg is cheaper, I have a $20.00 dollar credit with them AND I could give a crap less if the color matches, I can't see my RAM inside my PC anyway!
I only bought the LED green kit because Newegg had it on sale the other day for like $30 less then the RED and BLUE LED stuff and it was even cheaper the the Non-LED stuff. Sales over now I see but thats neither here nor there.
Anyway, the spec's look the same, am I missing anything other then the color of the heat spreaders and the LED's?
Thanks for looking guys!
