I'm currently running 2 x 1GB Mushkin Enhanced 1066
Great memory but I want to upgrade to 4GB (2 x 2GB)..

What about these G.SKILLs?

The timings aren't great. I use G.Skill on most of my builds and haven't had a problem yet.

Haha beer budget for sure.

I think I will just buy the badass G.skill sticks when I have more $ to spend.

There was an auction on ebay for OCZ Reaper sticks but someone else bid higher

Thanks for the answers..

Chucking money out the window. Your processor is a stock 200mhz FSB with 9x multi, even if you get the thing to hit 3.6ghz you still would only need DDR2-800 to run at 1:1 without overclocking the RAM.
