for a little extra money you can get what is considered to be one of the very best 1GB sticks..... better hurry up before they're all gone.

The Mushkin sticks require active cooling, cause they tend to get really hot, especially the Redlines.

The OCZ ones are great for 2x1GB sticks. That crucial one might be good too, but it wouldn't run in dual channel, which doesn't make a huge difference, but yeah.

our 1gig modules do not require active cooling. only the xp3500, 4000 parts.

991438 1GB XP3500 [email protected] (2x512) Redline
991440 1GB XP4000 [email protected] (2x512) Redline

the 1gig and 2gig kits do not require active cooling

991434 2GB HP3200 Dual Pack 2-3-2 (2x1GB)

I would disagree on the active cooling note. Not all of mushkin's RAM requires such.

On another note, purely from the overclocks I have seen I would go with the mushkin
