Need 8 gigs, Which two 4gig kits?

I plan on OCing these kits. Nothing too high, around 420x9 on a q6600. I would like more although I think realistically, that'll be pushing it for my specific cpu. 445x9 would be max and I know my CPU was never stable at that speed.

These are what I have in mind. They are DDR2 800.

Crucial Ballistix 4GB(2 x 2GB)

Patriot Viper 4GB(2 x 2GB)

I currently have the G. Skill 2x2gig ddr2 1000 kit and its limiting my OC. 420x9 is not stable and I figured I might as well upgrade.

I'm trying to stay cheap, around 100 bucks a kit. I had 4x1 gigs of crucial ballistix that was the micron stuff from about 9 months ago, but blew that out. It OC'd like a dream and was not limiting my OC. If either of these kits will perform close to that, I'll be VERY happy.

I can't speak for cronos, but he mentioned running 8GB of G.Skill PC8000 in several systems in this thread.

I have actually posted a few times in that thread. I think I got a bad kit. I just can't get anything good out of it sadly. Not his fault clearly. Since I'm getting 8 gigs, I'd rather get some ram that is basically the same batch so both kits OC similarly, at least thats the idea. I'm also going to dump the G skill ram into a linux PC that I might upgrade CPU-wise, so the ram will not be going to waste, plus I want to try out some of the new 2 gig kits to OC and 200 bucks is not a lot considering it would be high quality dd2 800.

Awesome ram, just out of my budget. Anything around $110 per set?

The price jumped to 150 on newegg. I might as well get the dominators for the same price (after rebate).
