You might want to check some reviews or ask soem other users for their opinion or preformance of modules on the forum.

The AData Vitesta or w/e is some good stuff. I've been doing some research as well and I found that the Adata overclocked to around 1022mhz. Search Legit reviews. They compared the RAM to Mushkin Extreme, Kingston HyperX, Corsair XMS, etc...and they overclocked each of the modules. The Adata seemed to be able to overclock the second best, right behind this no-name company ram, which not even legit reviews could find where to purchase it.

I've gotten myself a pair of Adata 800's (not extreme range) before. Gone are the elpida ICs and they've been replace with Adata's self-marked ICs. I've only managed 850 5-5-5-15 so far at at 2.4v on a DS3. Be careful when you buy these Adatas.

Yea, I read a couple crappy reviews on those Adata sticks. not good. But as far as the ones you are looking at, I'g either get the Wintec AmpX, Patriots, or the Corsair. Possibly in that order. The Wintecs, from what I read if I remember right, are using Micron chips. But, if ya could manage to maybe spend a bit more, here's a couple others I'd suggest:

Personally, I'd take a good look at the Geil Ultra's I linked for ya, those have gotten some real good reviews. Or, maybe try the DDR2-667 Mushkin XP's and overclock them up to run at 800mhz+. All reviews that I've read while and since building my AM2 rig, they all gave high ratings to the Mushkin XP kits. I haven't read a single bad thing about them anywhere, and they have been sweet overclockers in all the benchmarks I've seen. Anyway, just a couple more ideas for ya. Have fun. :D
