| I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.  |  Re: I can't decide on memory! Don't spend the extra $25 on LEDs. If the extra cash is burning a hole in your pocket, you could splurge for a DDR2-1066 kit instead, and still come out ahead. Crucial Ballistix 2GB DDR2-800 - $50 shipped (after $25 MIR)* Crucial Ballistix Tracers 2GB DDR2-800 - $75 shipped Crucial Ballistix 2GB DDR2-1066 - $70 shipped (after $25 MIR)** Crucial Ballistix Tracers 2GB DDR2-1066 - $116 shipped *represents my first choice **represents my second choice   |

| Re: I can't decide on memory! The Crucial w/rebate are hands down the best deal. Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) The Corsair will OC almost as well and sometimes better and are an even better price. CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Personally I suggest you go with 4GB and be ready for 64 Bit OS G.SKILL 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1000 (PC2 8000) I run a set of these and they are fine Ram ... but there is not much headroom for overclocking past spec with them. I run 6GB 64 Bit OS with a Ram drive and Caching ... so my system smokes and latencies isn't much an issue since I am running a swap file in the ram drive. To be supportive ... I vote Crucial ... good bang for the buck. Main: 3.6ghzE8400, Xigmatek, Asus p5Q45, PC 610W PSU, 4GB 6400, XP Pro, 500GB, 22" + (2)19" WS LCD's w/ Palit 9600 GT, ATI4350 HT, 550Pro, P8600 Notebook.

| Photogenic | Re: I can't decide on memory! I'm only looking for a 2GB kit for right now, I'll maybe get a 4GB kit later. It looks like the Crucial kit w/out the LED's is what I'll get. Quote:
