Quick and simple!

I've got a Q6700 on an Intel DG33TL (Using what Intel sent me till I pick up a new board in January) and I need to replace the temporary DDR2 533mhz(yikes!) chips.

Due to the board, I need something that runs 1.8v, and of course, I'm looking for either 2GB or 4 GB, 4GB being preferable.

Down to business, I've been looking at ram... and my options right now are:

2GB :
Not a lot of great review on this one, but you really can't trust Newegg reviews all the time TBH

This seems to be great (plus it matches the black intel board :)), I have a buddy who bought this ram, but hasn't clocked it yet:

4GB :

This one seems interesting! I could easily afford 4GB with two of these, but on this board with my limited voltage could I set the timings to a more standard 5-5-5-15? My board manual says it prefers 5-5-5-15 so while I would prefer 4GB even with loose timings I obviously don't want to buy something I can't use.

In closing, I'm not looking to do extreme over clocking with this system anytime in the near future, seeing as I need this system for some projects in some of my class. I just want it running rock-solid stable for the moment.

Thanks! :beer:
 
If you aren't using a 64bit system, you won't see all the 4G of the GSkill sticks plus the timings will cost you a little performance (1% at most).

Don't have experience with either of the 2G choices so I shouldn't comment there.

Good luck. :santa2:
