At $76 shipped it's quite affordable, though the kit's stock speed might be a turn off for some... I think it's identical to Crucial's 3 x 2gb 1333mhz CL9 kit, just with lower freq and tighter timings.

The above kit clocked to 1866mhz CL9 @ 1.5vDIMM, if 1066 kit clocks similarly this could be a nice budget kit.

So my request,

If you own either kit CT3KIT25664BA1067 or CT3KIT25664BA1339 please post your results.

I'm tempted to build a "low budget" i7 when D0 hits retail. Open box mobo + this memory kit + 920 D0 -> $500-$600 would be my goal for those 3 core components.
