I got these for my rig:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146565

They run at a little higher voltage than the G.Skills mentioned above (also great RAM), but have a lower latency of 4-4-4-12 at 800 speed. I chose them for their first-place finish in the TH review a while back. They also easily over clock to 1000+ at 5-5-5-15. Right now they're $40 after MIR from newegg. You won't be disappointed.

First thnx for ur replies , so i guess ddr2 800 is good , and will fit my mobo. i'll consider looking for one of those u mentioned.
but wat about ddr2 1066 ? its too expencive but should i wait and get it ? or it wont make a diffirence with the (800 mhz) proccesor?
