... I would suggest the Kingston Hyperx 3500.., I just saw on Kingston's site, shop kingston, a 1GB kit for $240 (free 2-day shipping). The mushkin is more expensive, and the tests were pretty close between the two.

if you need to save some $$, go with the kingston, if you want to pay for unmatched customer service and ( i think) guarenteed bh-5 ram chips, get the mushkin

JK man you already can't decide.

HyperX. With Mushkin you'll get the same with higher price. They do have excellent customer service though as said.

The OCZ Gold overclocks well, if you want to run at 1:1 with relaxed timings. With active cooling, my Gold PC3700 Dual Channel (2x256Mb) will run 250FSB DDR 1:1, albeit at the same timings as the OCZ Gold PC4000 and with raised voltage.

Just read the review from Anandtech and Mushkin Lvl2 is the top performer.

Get the Mushkin, if you don't like it you can return it, they give you a two week trial no questions asked guarantee, if HyperX offered that I would say order that, but they dont. So get the Mushkin and you won't suffer from Buyers remorse later on.
Also its $199 for a 512 stick of Mushlin Level II pc3200 and its $165 at Newegg, you do the math then buy it at Newegg

That is if you don't mind the pc3200

Mushkins level 2 are really good, but you pay lots of cash for them, other mushkin mem is not worth looking at.
For a lil more cash you can buy 2x more good mem by Kingston or GeIL.
If cash doesn't matter I'd rather choose Mushkins.
