I think one is i5-compatible and one is AMD-compatible.

FYI, I ran i5 memories without issues on the M4A89GTD, but it's best to go with Asus' recommended list of memories for that board. Some RAM manufacturers like OCZ actually designates the memory for AMD or i5 even though the RAM has the same model number.

I have another Asus board that is giving me errors for the memories (for i5) I bought for it... and I don't have time to deal with it right now and was only able to run 1 single stick.
