What memory for shuttle build?

I am just about to purchase a Shuttle KPC K45 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-118-SH and just wondered if there is any difference betwen the brands of memory that suits it?

It takes 2 gig maximum of DDR2-533/667 which is 5300 if i'm not mistaken so there isnt much choice just corsair/crucial or ocuk own brand 2 gig dual channel kits. My question to the experts is if one brand is better then another and which would you all recomend out of the choices - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=701&catid=8&subid=144

It will be built with a e5200 chip if it makes any Difference. Thanks in advance for any advice.

The only other thing is that the shuttle will only take 667 Hz RAM as a maximum but the e5200 chip im putting in it is 800 FSB, Will this be a problem? will the chip still run at full speed 800 FSB while the memory will run at 667? or do they need synching together?

Thiis confuses me, but as soon as i get confirmation its won't be a problem then i'm ordering, i havemy Debit card here standing by :rolleyes:
