if you are not ocing the ram, i say it depends on the cpu you are running.
personally i will just get the pc2-6400 stuff and leave my cpu at a slower speed if the ram cant cope with the speed. it also can mean less heat too

The premium you pay on the above memory gives very little in performance, money better spent elsewhere in the system.
