Best RAM for a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 (Rev. 3.3)

[jda70]

Hi

I'm building a computer and am going with the
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 (Rev. 3.3) Mother Board.
The Qualified Vendors List has
Corsair CM2X1024-6400C4 and
Kingston KVR800D2N5/512 RAM listed.

I checked newegg.com and so far there is
Kingston KVR800D2N5/512 for $32.49
So it would be 64.98 + shipping for 1 Gig of RAM.

The Corsair XMS2 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X1024-6400C4
Retail $71.00 + free shipping for 1 Gig of RAM.

Should I try something else like A-DATA?

this has been talked about a lot and I have done a lot of research because I'm looking for ram for the same board. It seems that you should go with

these:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231065

or the crucial ballistix...

both ddr2 800 and supposedly very good ram overclocking or not

might as well go for 2gb because ram is so cheap these days

G. Skill maybe one of the best around , however
it not support for this board and I have heard of people having
problems running this board with unsupported RAM.

I going with either two...
Kingston (512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory KVR800D2N5

or...
CORSAIR XMS2 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory
