Hello,
I am currently running 2GB x 2 Corsair XMS 3 DDR 1333Mhz Memory and have decide to add another 4GB. I will be selling off the old chips and getting 2 x 4GB new ones. Which ones should I go for?

Here's what I came up with after a brief search -
Vengeance , these are available for 2300 INR locally. Any other suggestions are welcome. Thank you.
 
^^ Before buying new memory modules, what is your purpose of the purchase -- what applications / programs do you want to run? Are they not running efficiently?

Anyways after all this when purchasing a RAM kit don't just get drawn in with modules with the crazy heat-spreaders OR those which scream 2133 MHz and all that, you have to look at other aspects like RAS-CAS latency, tCRS timing and so on, for more information on same please refer to these links -- Does RAM Latency Matter? | ExtremeTech / CAS latency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia / SDRAM latency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia / How to read RAM latencies? - Memory - Motherboards-Memory /.

Also in the Indian market at-least aim to get RAM modules with a latency of CL-8 over the more common CL-9. This is indicated on the modules serial no. ~ C9 / C8, one of these types was on sale @SMC International G.Skill TRIDENT ~ 3000/- [its out of stock but grab these if possible later] -- Gskill. Hope this helps, Sire.
