Thinking about getting an e6300 or 6400 and a set of this RAM...

That G.Skill uses low quality ICs that sometimes do not even run the rated timings and speeds. Should get the G.Skill HZ series if you want to get G.Skill (they have the black heatspreader). In all likeleness you'd want to overclock right? Since you can, and since you need good memory to clock far look for something that uses Micron ICs like what I have listed.
Important note: it says DDR2-667 but all Micron D9GMH are rated at 667Mhz from the fab. They are the same chips used in the DDR2-1000 and DDR2-1111 kits from Corsair, Mushkin, and OCZ. Although the difference is, those companies hand pick the best ICs they get for those sets.
Edit: to fix my URL put chiefvalue.com in there (for some reason AT forums blacklist it)

My experience with it has been good...
Got 2gb of the 800ddr2 cas 4-4-4-12 2.1v using the lesser elpida chips.....I am running it and have been for weeks at 933ddr2 cas 5-5-5-15 with 2.2v. These are the ZX chips. Though not highly recommended for use on the 965's I am running then better then stock. they also ran fine at cas 4-4-4-12 at 800
Now my other sticks are the HZ ones using smae chips as used in the top lines of the OCZ, Crucial, etc. Cmdrdredd obviously doesn't know what he is talking about.....
They run 1000ddr2 at stock with cas 4-4-4-5 2.2-2.3v.....They ran memtest fine at those speeds of 1000 though the cpu needed more vcore to sustain small FFT in orthos. Memtest ran for hours and several passes with no hiccups...
If you get any and you will see they are widely popular since they have been consistently out of stock at newegg for a week plus now, make sure you get the HZ line...

Look at gskills chips used in their top line to other more expensive ram makers...notice the similarities? Cmdrdredd doesnt!!!!
Now I think others will OC further but you likely will limited by 500fsb on most mobos and 3.5ghz on most cpus....The rest may be overkill and wasted money. These chips can run rated speeds.

I don't know what I'm talking about? Go read xtremeforums and see all the people crying when their cheap promos/elpedia etc doesn't do crap.
For your information I said GET THE HZ SERIES IF YOU WANT TO GET G.SKILL!
I put that in caps because you obviously missed it. The g.Skill HZ series uses Micron D9 as I said before. Now please learn to read, comprehend, and digest the information before you jump on someone for the first sentence which was NOT related to the HZ series at all.
And I will repeat... I said get the HZ (black heatspreader) because it uses Micron D9 ICs (typically D9GMH) and will overclock extremely well.
BTW: my Crucial 10th Anniversary DDR2-667 is running 5-4-4-12 @ DDR2-1000 (D9GMH chips)

Also my ram cost me 179.99...now it is 164.99....
It does 1000ddr2 at cas 4-4-4-12 memtest stable....cpu needs a bit more to be 100% stable so I run the ram at 972ddr2 cas 4-4-4-12 2.2v......
Edit: Cmdrdredd I think I may pick up some of those sticks!!! 229 for 2gb and they will do 1000DDr2...that is damn nice....
I still think the gskills are not as bad as you think.....in theory the anniversary should do no better then 5-5-5-12 2.2v according to the ballistic PC2 8000 sticks.
Again thanks to the link

Crucial 10th anniversary stuff or Buffalo Firestix.
Both are cheap for D9s & will OC very well.
You mean this stuff?Originally posted by: cmdrdredd
Crucial not available except direct from them (newegg and chiefvalue don't have it).
