Hey guys,

Just a bit of advice really, just about sorted out all the parts im going to be using in a new build however im a little stuck on the memory. this is whats going to be inside

Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - OEM
Abit IP35 Pro (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Also hoping to get a GT card as soon as they arrive.

Now I was going to purchase 2 lots of:
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB6400UDC)

However this is no longer in the "this week only deal" (luckily the cpu and MB are now :) ) however i was looking at the new stuff on there. now would this be better ?

OCZ 4GB (2 x 2GB) PC2-6400C5 Dual Channel Vista Gold Series DDR2 (OCZ2G8004GK)

or shall I just stick with the GeIL or is there a better alternative. i liked the price of the GeIL stuff which is what attracted me to it and im hoping to get 4gig.

Any recommendations will be very welcome.

Thanks
 
I looked into buying that board however the reviews i read did not show any performance benifits (of significance) over the P35 pro. ok it supports ddr2 1200 but im not going to be buying that. yes it has PCIe-2 but again ive not seen anything that would warrent the extra money.
 
yup, im not too bothered as my pc tends to stay on 24/7. its a great board, has great reviews nothing is perfect im afraid.
