Hi all,

I am in the process of upgrading my system and now need new memory.

I want 4GB (2x2) although I know in *** short run I wont be able to use it all.

So, my question is this, whihc of *** following memory sets would you recommend?

I am running a E6600 at stock for the time being till I have finished upgrading.

My motherboard is the Asrock 4CoreDual-VSTA (Socket 775) PCI-Express/AGP DDR2 Motherboard but this will be updated again once I have decided updated my GC, although I do not know whch board I shall be going for yet.

Which would you advise?

I have just gone for some of this, much better timings and reviews look very promising for overclocking.

4GB DDR2 XP2-6400 (800MHz) 4-3-3-10 Mushkin

Yes. The 8500 they have which has similar timings to the 6400 you listed is £417.

None of the 4gb kits bar the muskin 8500 overclock.

However if thats not a problem then would go for the corsair stuff as they are up with crucial in the returns department. (and they look cool)

They seem to clock reasonably well on there, but I am sure I read somewhere that Mushkin have changed the IC's so your probally right, wish I could find the article I read.
