Advice On RAM To Buy

I recently got my new mobo and I need advice on the brand of RAM to go with. Here are two of the deals I ran across.....

- 2 x 1GB DDR500 PC4000 OCZ Gold for 250.00

- REFURBISHED 1 x 1GB DDR500 PC4000 Crucial Ballistic for 120.00

I plan on running 2 x 1GB, incase you can't tell from what I already wrote.

The ballistix look like a good deal, but what in God's name is refurbished ram? I 'd be afraid they were someones major rejects. In the new stuff, I think this GSkill is the best deal right now.

Yea I wouldn't trust that refurbished Ballistix ram, definately someone's reject for a bad OC.
