New build :

a8n sli deluxe
x2 4800+
ocz gamerxstream 700watt
7950gt

old scho0l gskill ddr 400 running at 2-2-2-5 this is the ddr 550 stuff that runs at 2.5-3-3-7 timing at 550 2x 512 mb kit i bought awhile back when tccd first hit the scene for mad overclocks.

I am going to gut my case remove all watercooling and install a flatout oem spec HSF and everything else. This machine will not be oced for quite awhile I have not the time nor the inclination do do anything but run this new build at stock settings for awhile.

I want to get a 2 gig kit and was wondering what I should buy. I have been out of the loop for quite sometime as far as oc'ing mem goes. I want some decent memory that will perform great at stock settings and also be able to take some volts when I oc later. seeing as how this rig is going the way of the dinosaur with it being socket 939 i'll slap down another $150-200 for a nice 2gig kit, any suggestions?

Thanks

G.skill HZ's are good depending on the revision. I think its the 'f2' revision that hits 290mhz. I had a pair and they would do 290 mhz on 2.8 volts.
