and thats an AMAZING price on the PQI.

BUT -- if you can afford 2GB of that corsair set, that also takes the win for me.

Yeah, I agree...

I'd get Corsair no doubt... Half of my memory right now is Corsair and it's lovely.

im using corsair 2x1GB DDR2-667 and plan on adding another 2 identical sticks in the next little bit (if i can get a job going).

if not, i can swap my RAM with a buddy's OCZ DDR2-800 and add a few bucks, and then add 2 more sticks of that. not sure yet, as this RAM seems adequate and runs well at 900+ anyway (if i were to push it that far).

How's this look:
Patriot Signature 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory

Never heard of Patriot. How's it stack up against Corsair?

EDIT: The 800MHz version of this RAM got good marks on Tom's Hardware DDR2-800 shootout.

Patriot is a solid company, I have used a lot of their RAM in budget system builds with never an issue.

I bet you sued them...

Nah, I've got a 1GB Patriot DDR333 SO-DIMM in my laptop, runs fantastically.

Patriot has been a pretty good company so far. They're pretty new to the memory market, but they're quickly making a good name for themselves. I wouldn't have a problem with using their ram in my rig. That particular set of ram has a voltage of 1.8V. So it should at least boot on that mobo.

As always, do some research prior to making a purchase.

So, the Corsair or the Patriot?

i insist on Corsair, but budget type i have a Patriot 667 i put in my bro rig and it looks pretty good up to now...

but still Corsair 800 at my sig...
