    As was pointed out in the Gateway section, this G.Skill is cheaper ($159.99 right now with free shipping).

    Yep, since it runs CAS7, it won't make a difference for M11x peeps like me, but if your laptop can run memory at rated speed, you would want the faster sticks.

    Yeah, OCZ is faster, and better quality from my experience so the higher price is worth it imo

    Unless you overclock, higher memory speed does absolutely nothing for performance in any real life situation.

    4 gb is more than enough for me right now also gives me some time for for the 8gb price to go down.
