Corsair TWINX1024-4400C25PT - good price, I've heard it's ok

G.Skill F1-3200DSU2-512LA/1GBLA - I've heard it's amazing

G.Skill F1-3200DSU2-512LE/1GBLE - I've heard it's amazing

OCZ PC3200 Platinum Revision 2 TCC5 - amazing price, I've heard it's a hit or miss

OR RECOMMEND ANY OTHER MEMORY THAT DOES 300+FSB THAT IS UNDER US$260.

Thanks.

P.S. - Which is better, G.Skill LE (rated at PC4400) or LA (rated at PC4800)? I always thought it was LA since it is rated higher (thus binned better), but some people are saying LE. For example, some person was saying that G.Skill alphabetizes their chips in order from lowest quality to highest quality, so A is worst and F is best. I don't know if there is any truth to that, so please inform me if there is or is not.

LA only costs $4 more...

Is there a big enough difference between the Corsair ($219) and G.Skill ($260) to justify the price?

The Corsair should be good for 285 at cas 2.5. If your proc's multi needs fsb/htt that is higher than 285, you need Gskill LA for some 300 fsb at cas 2.5 action.

My LA can do as Perkum says and I've been very happy with them. You could check some threads in the bandwidth or overclocking section to get an idea what people are using and getting out of there sticks.

Try not to overthink it though, any one of those choices would be good.
