Check out the OCZ 2GB Platinum kits. I have the PC3200 variant that does (with ease, mind you) 2.5-3-2-5 1T. FSB on the board is 330 and the actual MHZ of the RAM is 220. That's at a paltry 2.8v for the memory.

Stable as all get out.

The best performing 2 gig DDR kits use Infineon CE-5/6 chips and can be found in Mushkin XP-4000. Might cost you a few $ over $300 canadian but is worth the few extra bucks. Link

I did a review of this mem a while ago, and its still going strong. Link

Like Eldonko said the Mushkin series will most likely perform the best but if you dont want to fork over that kind of money take a look at G.Skill. They make a very nice DDR500 2GB kit with black heatspreaders for additional sexiness.
