Suggestions on 2x2gig DDR2 800's?

I jumped the gun when these first came out, I started with G.skill's 667 DDR2's but they failed after a month. No big deal it happins, but now im in a position to upgrade to the DDR2 800's. Basically this is the avalible list on newegg as of now. Can anyone make a suggestion, considering my current setup? Thanks

I would just pick up the cheapest set. Unless you really need/want the CAS5 then go with the G.Skills for $319.

The cheapest ones.. your running a 9multi CPU.

Thanks for the fast responce guys, I went with the Patriot. The Gskill 4GBMQ ie the $319 ones had some questionable/incompatible reviews from people with the 680i chipset/bios, I took it with a grain of salt, but I just didn't want another RMA to deal with. The Gskill 4GBPQ set was the ones I was shooting for, but they were sold out.

I'm running two sets of G.SKILL F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ. I can only squeeze 414 out of the FSB. At that point, it doesn't feel like I have any headroom. If ambient were to go up a few degrees, I'd probably lose my stability. On the plus side, they run great at spec.

If I were you, I would have held off on 2GB sticks. The price is dropping rapidly and new sets are coming out all the time.

Since you were set on getting 2x2GB, I'm glad you went with Patriot. Newegg just started listing them and you can write the first review! Plus, you can tell us if they're any good! OC Forums needs guinea pigs!
