With rebates three different versions of OCZ PC-6400 are running about ~$210 for 2GB. They have 3 different versions that look close to each other.

OCZ Platinum Rev 2 (4-4-4-15) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227139)
OCZ S.P.O.E (5-5-5-12) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227120)
OCZ Platinum (4-5-4-15) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227089)

This is going into on an Intel Bad Axe 2 with an E6600. I think these are all plenty fast with an E6600 and am leaning toward the Platinum Rev 2.

Any opinion/experience appreciated.

I have 2x512 of the OCZ EL Platinum (your bottom link just 1GB total instead of 2GB)

Currently I have mine stable at 4-4-4-10-16 @ 1.95v. Mine came at 5-5-5-15-23 and I just manually changed them.
(It was the correct RAM, OCZ was apparently having problems with certain motherboards so they relaxed the timings to make sure they worked with everything) <-- Someone else correct me if I'm wrong on that

If you are interested in OC'ing I have had these stable in 2 different configs.
One was 468MHz 4-4-4-10-16 @ 2.3v (3268 MB/s) and the other was 504MHz 5-5-5-15-22 @ 2.3v (3281 MB/s).

Now not to say these performances will happen with every different setup, but I can assure you I am very happy with mine. :)

Since you wont need to overclock them with an E6600 any one will be pretty much the same. Platinum Rev 2 will be the best choice because of the lower timings but even that won't offer much of a real world difference.

That's what I figured. I'm assuming that just about any 6400 RAM is going run about the same with an E6600, so I'm shopping based primarily on price.
