anyone use g.skill memory?

[wheeler08]

Overhauling computer after 2 years, looking on Newegg and I see all these great reviews on g.skill memory. I've never heard of them before, good stuff?

I'm just wanting to go with 2gigs, and not wanting to spend over $100 on memory as of now.
This link takes to newegg and all the g.skill flavors of 2gb, what makes them different that the prices change so much? I don't know much about memory specs, was never too interested.

Thanks for any help

I've used G.Skill memory before.
Good solid, quality RAM at a good price.

Basically Timings, ability to overclock, and mhz speed

You've got a lot of choices for that pricepoint. Hell, if you want 4GB you could do that as well, probably for $100. Two sets of these wouldn't be too bad. Maybe two of these instead.

When looking for RAM, try to find sticks with 4-4-4-x latencies, tighter timings should be better when overclocking (someone can correct me). I suggest DDR2 @ 800MHz, but 667 is more than enough for most people.

I also like G.Skill for their close adherence to voltage standards.

OP, what motherboard and cpu do you have?

I've always had good luck with Gskill quality and performance on computer builds for friens and family. Overclocks identically to Mushkin / Corsair high performance ram . . .

None yet, but I think this is what I'm gonna get: GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard and Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600

I've got the Q6600 and I was suggested to go with with Abit IP35 over the Gigabyte and Asus P35 models.

STi eh? Hm...why not?

I am using a 2x2GB kit in my machine. Overclocks great, and was cheap. Good stuff IMO.

Excellent memory, especially the HZ series with Micron D9 IC's.

Can be pricey, though...

Apparently great customer service, too, in an "unlikely event of failure"...
