I wouldn't buy that brand. Go with something like Corsair, Mushkin...etc. For the same price, you can get a better brand.
 
I'd never buy another BFG card. Their policy about having to leave the stock heatsink on or voided warranty is the suck. Go with XFX or EVGA.

Not to mention my BFG 6800GS AGP card likes to randomly black screen, the only remedy for it is a power cycle.

I don't think that is a problem with the brand, probably just a specific problem with your board or drivers. Don't blame the company unless you know for a FACT that it is their fault.

I do know it's the card, because when I swap it with another AGP card, it never happens. I was troubleshooting this for months (because the problem is so intermittent and can happen as infrequently as once every week or two, maybe less), and I am 100% positive it's the card. My PC is rock solid stable otherwise and typically only gets rebooted once a month if that.

I did not say it wasn't your card. I said the company who made your card is not at fault.

This is quickly getting offtopic, but if a company produces and manufactures a faulty product, it is most certainly their fault. It sure as heck isn't mine.

Yeah thats an amazing price for the G skill and the Patriot memory. When I bought my memory it was like $213 and now it's $159.99

Holy Crap!
$50 MIR! :eek:
I'm accustomed to completely ignoring MIRs... due to soo many of them being a load of crap, but that's a bit difficult to refuse.

But besides the MIR, the G.Skill sticks pretty much the same(if not minutely better thanks to the lower V's) if I remember...
 
just read this on mobo specs...

"Notice: Only DDR2-800 memory supporting JEDEC approved 1.8V operation with timings of 5-5-5 or 6-6-6 is supported on Intel Desktop Boards based on Intel 965 Express Chipsets."

How can I be sure I get the right memory...the G-Skill is 1.9V

You'll just have to set the memory's voltage and timings manually, it'll just default to 1.8v 5-5-5.
I've seen that mainboard run CL3@400MHz and CL4@500MHz without any problems.
