Lots of good DDR2 RAM. Corsair, Kingston, Crucial, OCZ, Mushkin, etc. The Mushkin DDR2-667 extreme performance is sweet and has good timings.

they would not run stable at anything other than their stock timing and speed, raising voltage made them even more unstable. now I am just too happy with my 5400UL.
