I'm slowly building a new computer and the help on here has been great :thup:. But now I need help choosing between the following RAM:

G.SKILL F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK PC2-8500 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-1066 CL5-5-5-15

OCZ Reaper Hpc Edition PC2-8500 DDR2 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-1066 CL5-5-5-15

Patriot Extreme Viper PVS24G8500ELKR2 4GB 2X2GB PC2-8500 DDR2-1066 CL5-5-5-15

I have an Intel E8400 and a DFI DK-X38 motherboard. I admit I'm a bit of new to this but I was going to go for the G.Skill because its a little cheaper. Your opinions?

they all look like good choices
a lot of people here seem to recommend gskill
personally i'd go with Corsair or OCZ
 
I agree all good choices, I'm on a G Skill kick at the moment but with DDR2 prices soooo low their are so many choices. Remember when memory was about 1 dollar a MB. I remember purchasing 4 x 256mb of micron pc-133 before they had the crucial branded mem for abpout $900.00 back in 1999 or 2000. I think 500mb sticks were just released and were a fortune like rdram was back then.
 
Thanks for the opinions. I think I'll go for the G.Skill. Also the cheapest but not by much. This place is great.:beer:.
