Mushkin, and G. Skill... are the best in the 2 x 2 Gig Vendors at this point.

pc2-6400 or pc2-8000 depending upon your overclocking requirements.


I know N7 has the Mushkin, and recommends highly, many use the G. Skill with no issues.

G.Skill 4GB DDR2 PK PC2-8500C5 (2x2GB) CAS5 Dual Channel Kit (F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK)

Just ordered some of that. We'll see how I get on. Thanks!

That's a good kit if it's the G. Skill DDR2-1000 I'm thinking of. You'd have been fine with DDR2-800 since you're using a Q6600, but that RAM is good too.

Sorry, that's it

I'm running 8GB of the G.Skill DDR2 PC2-6400 CAS5 4GBPQ quite happily in my P5Q-E. They also ran well in my somewhat flaky MSI P6N Platinum SLI. I never ran them for extended periods OC'd or at lower timings, but I'm running them at PL 10 right now at 1.9V. Very happy with them, but if I were buying today I'd spring the little bit extra for the PC2-8500 kit just for a bit more flexibility with Intel chipset's FSB strap.

The above link from OCuk is now sitting on my desk. Awaiting my P5Q and other stuff today.

Thanks

Gotta love that "new parts coming in" feeling. Enjoy your build!
