Okay, looking into which DDR800 for this e6600. Not planning to OC immediatley, but might later with a DX10 card.

The two that looked the best were:

What do you guys think? If you think there is a better pair of modules, then feel free to suggest those as well.

Also, little side question, would I see better performance running this at 1:1 while the cpu isn't even oc'd? In other words, would it be better run underclocked to 533 and maybe with tighter timings?

Thanks for any input guys.

Thanks a lot prozac. That does look like a better pick.

If this were my system, I think I'd oc it right away, but this is for a friend. I don't want him to do it if he feels uncomfortable.

Also the Ballistix at DDR2-667 CL3 might be good for lower OC.

Those supertalent will fly at 1000+, apparently =)
