Basically what do you guys rate as the best 800mhz ram?

Im looking at getting 2gb worth of it for the time being and would be tempted to overclock slightly too

what do you reccomend ?
 
it's like saying what's the best car on the market - every one will have their own opnions.

I would say the ballistix PC-6400 is excellent stuff for the money at present.
 
G.Skills 6400HZ if the current stocks have as good chips as the old stuff...

currently on 1200 5-5-5-18 @ 2.3v and it goes upto 1248 memtest stable on those timings and voltage so I could probably drop either the timings or voltage a little and keep 1200MHz. In testing I've got over 1300 perfectly stable with enough voltage but I wouldn't personally run them over 2.3 for long term useage tho people say upto 2.4 is fine. On 4-4-4-10 you can get them to 1066 with 2.3 volts tho I had to go to 4-4-4-15 to get them stable at 1000 on 2.2 volts.

For a comparison using Everest Memory Read Benchmark

1000 4-4-4- = ~9800MB/s
1066 4-4-4- = ~10,000MB/s
1200 5-5-5- = ~10,200MB/s (oops)

Thats with an E6600 @ 3.5gig
