I need advice on what 2x1GB ram set to get for a c2d system I'm building for a friend. I'll probably use a E6400 or E6600 cpu and he ISN'T going to overclock it so I'm probably going to pick up some value ram to save him some cash. Should I just get ddr533 since the stock fsb is 266 (266x4=1066) or maybe some cheaper ddr667 and run it at a lower speed with better latencies?

p.s.Links would be really helpful =] THANKS in advance!
 
the tightest timing ram you can afford would be the way to go.

Not sure how a stock chip would differ as far as performance with the only difference being ram 533,667,800
