Great Choice, I have that same Ram and and runs very smoothly. its Fast to at 800mhz and when OC even more so.

I would personally get the G.Skill HZ - http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=92691&highlight=faces

The G.Skill's are guaranteed with Micron D9 memory, as where the Corsairs have been known to ship with the lower grade Elpida IC's ..

Ive used kingston alot. I think its cheap (pricewise, thats it). Ive never seen kinsgton fail, but personaly I think its kind of slow. You should only get it for backup or going for ultra leave it on for 7 years stability.

You know for sure that skills are D9? ( speaking of the F2 6400 2x512 ).

If you are getting a E6600 you need bawls to need much more frequency then DDR2-800 gives at stock 1:1. thats 3.6 Ghz, thats around 1.5Vcore and on high end air your load temps in TAT would run well up in the 60'sC.

There's a thread over at XS that lists off two products that got updated from the "cheap" Elpida IC's to the D9's.. the 2gig HZ's set and another 2Gig set. Id pm a rep over there for more info on a 1Gig set AC.

Yea, I hear nothing but good about the G Skill PC-800 HZs. That's what I plan on getting when I build my next system soon.
