Well it has been a while since i've been in the computer building scene. But my computer is from about 2002, so I decided to upgrade. Heres what I have

E6600 (in my hands)
P5W DH
Antec P180
Scythe Mine
BFG 7900GT OC 256MB
Baracuda 320Gig Perppendicular
I have a nice LCD
I have a Nice soundcard (Audigy 2)


I'm basically just wondering now, what DDR2 RAM should I Get

I heard that E6600 doesn't really rely as much on timings as it does on bandwidth.. is this true?

Since I live in canada Teamgroup or G.Skills are more of a pain to get, so im wondering if just getting OCZ gold or platinum 6400 would suffice, or would I notice huge improvement if I were to get the Teamgroup 800mhz 2gb kit (all ram talked about above is 2GB kits).

Thanks for your responses in advanced.

Yeah, that G-Skill "HZ" is good. It uses D9 chips which is THE ones to get for overclocking.

Very nice rams especially for the price performance ratio.

Might wanna check out those reviews first, seems to be problems with Asus. Too bad I've already bought OCZ memory I plan on using the P5W DH as well but then again reviews from the Egg arent regarded too highly.

another vote for the G.Skill HZ. I have some. Pricey, but no worries about OCin'g high FSB for conroe with this RAM
