I need to place order tonight, of the 3 which would be the pick guys. This is for an AM2 build for a friend. To be used on Asus M2N-E AM2 board
1) G.SKILL 2X1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 4-4-4-12 $147 @ EGG

2) Mushkin eXtreme Performance 2X1GB DDR2 667 3-3-3-10 $199-30 mMIR WOW @ EGG

Downside this ram needs more voltage then the M2N-E gives as it is limited to 1.91 on current bios
3) Patriot 2x1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 4-4-4-12 $179-$30 MIR @ EGG

4) Corsair 2x1GB XMS2 TWIN2X2048-5400C4 DDR2 667 CL 4-4-4-12 $169 @ EGG

I have read really good things about the Patriot and I see that Corsair is approved for the Asus board. The Mushkin is a bit pricey so prolly will pass on it. I left out OCZ based on seeing users having issues ruinning it at DDR2 800 on this board or the SLI version.
I gotta order tonight and am leaniong to the Corsair or Patriot, thoughts & choices, quickly? The GSKILL is enticing at its price and I have always been price/performance and done okay
