Hi,

it depends on your needs...

2GB with relaxed timings (3-4-4-8) are good for gaming (BF2, F.E.A.R etc.).

1GB with "tight" timings are good for benchmarks/no high-end games; but who needs benchmarks in "real-world-use"?

You can also use deviders with your 2GB kit and set tighter timings.

There is a nice sticky from Angry in the overclocking section (tight timings and deviders).

I agree.. Its not a matter of which is 'better', its a matter of what YOU do with your rig. If your into benching then the tighter timings would be better.. If your a gamer then go with the 2gig's for sure.. Your gaming will be so much smoother with 2gig's that you will never look at a 1gig kit again..
