i Live in Australia so the price are as follows
for the DDR2-800 6 gig =148$ au
for the DDR2 1066=$ 139 au

so what do you guys think would be best option i guess on the ddr2-1066 side i could get another 4 gig of it later witch would make (8) gig on but yeah big difference between the 2?


and i also see here
