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:

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!
