Which memory would be best?

I am going to be ordering parts for my new build soon and I am pretty sure about everything but the RAM. Here is the machine I am going to build:

e6600
P5b-Deluxe
Tuniq Tower cooler
2 x 250gig 7200.10 drives in MATRIX raid
PC Power and Cooling 610
8800 GTS

Now to go with it I am trying to decide between the following RAM:

BUFFALO Firestix (2 x 1GB) DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800

G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800

G.SKILL (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800


I would really like to OC to 3.6 or maybe even more, which would be a good bet? I can get the Firestix the cheapest but are they as good as the G.Skill???

Thanks

I think the G.Skill is going to yield the highest performance. IIRC, these are still D9GMH. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231065) The Firestix and the other G.Skill aren't anything special, probably Promos ICs. I would imagine you could get like 430-450mhz out of them. Since you have an E6600 you don't really need the high FSB but you might want the 4-4-4-12 timings if you plan on doing more benching.

Jarlax,

I actually have those BUFFALO FireStix and I got them from the egg. I ordered mine a week ago and they are D9GMH's which is a great deal for under 200 USD.
I was skeptical that it was actually D9GMH's so I took off the heat spreaders and luckily they were.

Do you by chance have a picture of that? I thought only the CAS4 variant was D9GMH.

Sure I'll take a picture of it when I take it apart in a couple of days. I want to test how far I can go w/ this ram before I take it out again.

firestix are out of stock
