Memory Suggestion?

Sorry for another one of these threads, but I'd really appreciate your help.

Here's my current hardware:

AMD Athlon 64 3500+
Corsair XMS 1GB TwinX Ram (Cas 2)
7800GTX (upgrading to X1900XT; about to place an order)

I want to upgrade my ram. My budget is around £120, but could stretch to £150 if necessary. I've considered Corsair, but everyone seems to think they're not all they're cracked up to be! Having said that, my current ram has been very good.

I WILL NOT BE OVERCLOCKING!
I don't want to waste money on ram which I won't use. I just want very good gaming performance. If it matters, I also plan to upgrade to X2 in the summer.

Can anyone suggest suitable ram for me?

Cheers,

They look nice but only CAS3.

Is CAS3 noticeably faster than CAS2?

G.Skill 2GB DDR HS PC3200 (2x1GB) CAS2.5 Dual Channel Kit (F1-3200USU2-2GBHS) (MY-009-GS)

What about that?

I've decided to hold out on the upgrade until a decent new game comes out. I guess my current ram is actually very good, and if I want faster games I'll need a raptor.
