im thinking about the Crucial Ballistix Tracer RED 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 PC2-6400C4 800MHz Dual Channel Kit, shame there is no cheaper yellow version, im sure the only diffrence is the LEDs

Thanks in advance..

Avoid Ballistix like the plague. It has a huge failure rate.

Spend the extra few quid on this if you want memory that is guaranteed to clock well past 800mhz.

Yip.

They're cheaper than good clocking CAS 4 PC2-6400, so it's a no-brainer IMO.
