| I would say in your case a 1066 isn't necessary though it would guarantee that RAM wouldn't hold you back. You should have no problem achieving 4GHz on the E8400 and still have stability with a 1:1 ratio on a quality 800 kit. With a 1066 kit, you won't have to worry about the headroom. What online vendors are you looking at purchasing from? ![]() |

| Any of these kits would be suitable. From amazon.com: Doesn't look like they have too much else from which to choose. Any other vendor options? ![]() |

| I have both the OCZ and Crucial branded DDR2 memory and am very happy with both. If I had to choose, would lean towards the OCZ memory out of personal preference though. Intel C2D 6550 Asus P5Q Pro OCZ Platinum DDR2 800 2 x 2 GB EVGA GTX260 216 Samsung SyncMaster 930B 1 x WD3200 2 x WD2000JD HP DVD640 Corsair 750TX Win XP Home SP3 |

| We take both criticism and positive comments very positively | I'd recommend the OCZ over the Crucial, but only because OCZ is so much cheaper....both are exceptional companies that stand behind their products INTEL QX9650 // Gigabyte EP45 Extreme // 8GB PC2-8500 // BFG GTX260 MaxCore // DD Torture Rack // Seagate 750GB HDD // OCZ Vendetta // PC Power & Cooling 620W PSU |

| socket 939 junkie | after using both crucial and ocz, i have to say they are both excellent. so really it comes down to price. i personally would go with the cheaper of the two kits |

| I have 2GB of the Crucials, haven't put them in my system yet though, still waiting on some parts. I have friends who have them though, as well as OCZ. It really comes down to price and preference. You really can't go wrong with either one.
