snoopypw: Why not get some Reapers like I'm using?

You could buy 2 sets of Reapers and with the $20 rebate you'd save some money compared to the G.Skill you're looking at.

The P5B can overclock much higher when using only 2 sticks of memory but if you don't intend to overclock then you shouldn't have a problem. There is very little difference in performance between DDR2-667 or DDR2-800 so if your memory doesn't run or isn't stable at DDR2-800 then set it to DDR2-667 in the bios.

8GB of memory is dirt cheap these days so buy them and see how it works for you. If you're not happy then dump them on EBay. The Reapers have a good reputation so you won't have a problem selling them. Hell, I'll give you $100 for 8GB of Reapers!
