Ive got an abit ic7-g and dont really know what memory to get, 2 kinds ive found that look good are..

GEIL DDR RAM 512MB PC-3700 466MHz, 32x8 Low Density Unbuffered Platinum Series, Model# GL5123700P
Specifications:
Type: 184-pin DDR Platinum Series
Capacity: 512MB
Speed: PC-3700 466MHz
CAS 2.5 7-3-3 2T @ DDR466 PC3700

TWINX1024-3200LL
The TWINX1024-3200LL is a 1 GByte matched memory pair specifically designed for motherboards using chip sets with dual memory channels. Current two-channel chip sets include the Nforce2 from Nvidia and the E7205 ("Granite Bay") from Intel. This memory kit consists of two CMX512-3200LL 400MHz ultra-low-latency memory modules that have been tested together on an Nforce2-based dual-channel motherboard

Any advise would be great. I plan on attempting to OC also, gunna start with a 2.8 p4 800 fsb. Thanks!

How about checking out PC3200 Twinmoss with Winbond chips. It's inexpensive and overclocks good. It is practically just as good as the Corsair Twin-X you are looking at.

It can be found at: http://www.amdforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=206235 and also here: http://www.memoryx.net/pc3200dimm.html

Do a search in the forums about Twinmoss. You will find many happy campers. You will find many happy people with Corsair also but it costs much more. You will find a mixed back with Geil. Geil seems to either work great or work crappy, it is so hit and miss.
