It depends on what you do? If you game I would get the Gskill Extreme 2 x 1Gb that does around 270MHz, and if you do alot of apps then I would get the 2 x 512mb Crucial Ballistix that does 300MHz.

Thxs for the responce im buying tonight and had

Abit IS7-E2
P4 3.06 @3500 Northwood
Patriot 2X512MB PC3200 400MHZ
NVIDIA eGeforce 6600 GT
C-90 w 92mm High Output
antec case w F&R 120mm fsilent fans
100 G Maxtor SATA
Sony DVD-RW
IO DVD-RW

I think the Patriots maxed at this couldent get any better without lockup.

Now just making sure that the ones u suggested willl run on this setup? and will i get a bit more out of them?

Have you used a memory divider to lower the memory speed? This will let you find the max speed of the CPU without being memory limited. I would strongly suggest you try this before buying any new ram
