    Memory to get for Conroe? Suggestion please..

    I already have my P5W DH on its way but now I need some good DDR2.... what do you guys recommend?

    I was looking at these as it seems a lot of people use them:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231065
    (G.Skill F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ)

    I'm looking at clocking either an E6600 or E6700 at or around 3.0-3.3ish ghz. I want my system to be nice and stable.

    Are those the right modules for me? Are they stable at higher speeds? Anyone recommend a different set?

    Thanks

    I recommend the OCZ PC-8000, get a 2GB kit for gaming.

    Many answers can be found in the Xtreme Bandwith section.

    My opinion about those OCZ's is that it is overpriced... (at least here in Belgium)
    If you really want to spend that much on ram, there are better kits to get.

    whatever you do, do it quick, DDR2 prices will spike when Conroe is officially released.

    I was thinking about getting the same G.Skill ram because the price isn't too bad.

    I like my Corsair Twin2X2048-6400. I don't know how they are for overclocking or anything, but perform fine for my use.

    I got 2GB of Corsair DDR2-800 (pc6400) on ZZF for about $200, and it had a $40 mail-in rebate which will bring it down to $160-ish.
