i don't like chip lists because the ICs that come on modules change so often. for instance, the early G.Skill HZs were D9GTR, but now are all D9JNL. the 1000MHz Ballistix in my signature i just posted are D9GTS but lots of users have gotten D9JNL. at this point though it is pretty much the understanding that most 1000MHz kits are going to be D9JNL and obviously some 800MHz 7-7-7 kits are D9JNL now so expect all manufacturers to follow suit to bring costs down. the 900MHz 7-7-7 kits are likely going to still be D9GTR/D9GTS but if D9JNL is binning for that slot, don't be surprised to see it there either.
it is so hard to recommend memory because there are so many factors involved including what you are running for FSB, what your motherboard can run as far as tRD goes, what your needs for the system are, and your budget. i personally would recommend what ever is cheapest out of that list because the differences are going to be minimal and for daily use, the difference isn't going to be seen anyway. perhaps the OCZ 1000MHz kit if anything because then you are guaranteed a 1000MHz kit and can always run them at 7-7-7 at lower clocks if the system warrants it. they are dirt cheap here in Canada too.
and BTW, this is a DDR3 thread...so definitely not off topic![]()
