Ok, I have basically narrowed down my ram search to these two diff sticks from Kingston. Its between the pc2100 512mb stick for 125 dollars and the Kingston pc2700 512mb stick that's ETA is tommorow for 140 dollars. O ya, does ECC registered matte rthat much? Neither are registered.

If ECC is for a non-dual, then it is not reccommended and it will slow things down a bit. If it is for a dual, it will still slow things down a bit but may be needed for stability.

If you plan on going over 133mhz, I would go with the pc2700. That's guaranteed up to 166mhz.

check out some of the prices at googlegear, you might be able to get your hands on a nice stick of Corsair XMS for the same money...
