For this mobo, ASUS P5WD2 PREMIUM & this processor Pentium D 935 LGA775

Right now I dont have a clue of wich ram I should buy

I know I want 2 Gig's of ddr2 800 and low timeings if possible.

budget is around 200$.

I want to try for a decent oc on this chip also.
 
If you can fork up the extra $50 I would highly recommend these sticks for a DDR800 config w/ low timings:

Obviosuly if you want value ram at DDR800 you are going to have to sacrifice for 5-5-5 timings.

EDIT. I actually found a pair of 4-4-4 Gskills for under $190: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231087

I just need another ocforums member to validate these sticks. I only have experience with the first D9 recommendation.
 
Those black gskill d9's look nice great reviews as well.

I like the OCZ but the Platinum Revision 2 2GB get such bad reviews I don't get it? the price is great but the reviews are lousy did ocz drop off in quality?

Im torn between buying high dollar ram that I know will get me where I wana go or buying some of that STT DDR2-667 2GB (2x1GB) CL5 S-RIGID Memory Kit from ewiz & taking the chance... 118$ for 2gigs and it oc's they say.
