Well they are all ok choices? What are you hoping to get out of ** board? ARe you overclocking the FSB/HTT at all?
Do u need a higher frequency or the lowest possible timings

If u wait, corsair are bringing out some DDR550mhz ram at PC4400, but i think that surpass ** requirements, and/or wallet!

Let me know what u need it for

I'm planning on running everything at stock speeds (at least for the moment) until I know everythings nice and stable etc.

I'm planning on running games, 3d apps & graphics apps (photo tools etc).

THen I'd highly recommend OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC3200 Dual Channel Platinum Series EL-DDR CAS2 (OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K or the G.Skill 2GB DDR ZX PC3200 (2x1GB) CAS2 Dual Channel Kit (F1-3200PHU2-2GBZX) both of which are basically the same and come with lifetime warrantry. Only difference is if u ever come to overclocking then these two will do a lot better than the corsair modules

they are also both deal of the week and can be found at overclockers Here
