Those are probably the 2 best bets. (Both use micron D9)

How come I have never heard of the Teamgroup company?

Thanks for the place to buy.

They were a smaller manufacturer and mostly known overseas. I think they're from Taiwan? Anyway, they're not large like Corsair and OCZ in the industry.

Just get the CRUCIAL and be happy. By the way, the 10th Anniversary line is some of the most overclockable available. Check it out at Google.

although Id like to get DDR2-800 memory and go up from there. rather than start at 667

Now that i think about it...I may go with ballistix Tracer for the black PCB and LEDs. I know, I know they do nothing except look good, but they will go pretty well in my case.
