Hi all!

I chose to go with

Intel C2D E6600
Asus P5B-E
Radeon X1950PRO 256MB

and now I need a memory,

I'll be runing XP home until vista and driver compatibility cools down,
my price range is $200-$240,
and I would like to go with Corsair as a brand,

I'll be OC'g but not to the extreme random reboots etc.
what DDR2 800 do you guys can recommend, newegg.com is my store :)

any help is much appreciated!

Go with whatever major high quality brand you want as long as it's rated CAS 4 at DDR2-800. Most people want to get RAM with D9 chips, but with the E6600 you don't need the expensive RAM.

I built a rig for a buddy using this G. Skill (see link). It works great and has decent overclocking headroom. Not much good RAM available for a cheaper price. Seems to be compatible with almost all the motherboards too.
