Depends on what you are doing with the memory. Are you going to OC it or not?

The corsairs, but no matter waht you get, run a dos based mem test on each stick individually. I have tested several corsairs and ocz. where 1 is perfect and the other errors.

And their is a altered version of Memtest86 around that works better with A64 boards. I can't remember where the link is though.

Yeah, there is all sorts of issues with Memtest and the FX-51 boards, making Memtest a not-so-ideal choice of memory tester for the FX-51.
