I am thining of buying that right there for my system on Monday, is this the REALLY good stuff? It says "Hand Picked Golden Dragon 5ns!" does this mean it is BH5 or CH5 whatever that means? LOL I am totally clueless it seems haha. Anyways the stuff costs a measly $224 so I figure that is decent.

I think it's OK...for your application...2.4B aircooled, I think it'll be fine.

Just curious why you say that? My sig is a bit out of date, I replaceed my Motherboard with a SINXP1397, and it is a bit more overclocked at a lower voltage too.

FYI, I've read of several peoples having issues out of Geil and they not backing their product very well. Do a search for a post by Fugger and his little escapade with it.

I've had some great luck with Corsair xms. I haven't seen hradly anyone complaining about the performance of it at all.
