I am thinking of getting this RAM DDR2 667 G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB). Is it good ram?
I find the price attractive.

Any comments on the mobo listed below is welcome, specially concerning if RAM will work with it or no.
(By the way, the mobo also accepts DDR1. Is it a better option? In terms of performance.)

I choose this mobo due to availability of AGP, and PCI-e (I know 4x, but it is ok).

What do you think?

Timmings are better on both these sets. First is G.Skill same price same speed, and second is same price basically after 30$ mail in rebate.

edit: Also what is your budget with these 3 things? The mobo could be upgraded alil, but it's alright if thats what you want.

FYI I have one of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231088

Running at DDR667 3-3-3-10 1T on a MSI K9N @ 2.1V.

I'm very confident two of these would run at the same timings and speed.

3800+ is running at 2.7ghz on stock cooler btw.
