Tomcug - Well, I got the Crucial Ram, and put it in...
The timings I have gotten with no errors in Memtest are:
940mhz @ 5-5-4-12 for the 4Gb (2x2) kit.
My old OCZ Titanium 2 gig Kit got:
940mhz @ 4-4-4-4 (yes, I cant believe I got 4 on the last timing too!)
I am sad about the timing loss, but I need the extra ram... Sadly Vista + Fallout3 (at max settings) really DO use more than 2Gb.... I have alt-tabbed and seen memory utilization at 100%, and huge slow downs entering VATS...
I know its better to have less memory at tighter timings than more memory at looser timings, but I need the extra 2gb...
The small performance hit of the 5-5 compared to the 4-4 will be nothing if this upgrade gets rid of my issues with Fallout3 (and future games!).
I have Vista64, so at least I can see and use all of the Ram...
I will miss having one of the best timings for DDR2 @ 940mhz though... 
This board is great... 2.5 years later, and I can still upgrade it...
e6700 @ 3.76ghz (totally 100% stable @ 40%+ OC!)
Crucial 4gb (2x2) 940mhz @ 5-5-4-12
WD Raptor 150gb
(Soon to be GTX280)
That's not a bad system at all for 2.5 years old 
The e8600 proc is stock clocked at 3.33ghz...
