What is the best overall 4GB DDR2 1066 or 1200 mem?

What is the best overall 4GB DDR2 or DDR2 1200 memory in the market right not?

Basically its 4GB memory with the best performance,very few negative reviews,durability, and most of all dependability.

I have some examples:

mushkin 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 1066 996599

OCZ Platinum 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 OCZ2P10664GK

These are so far the best i have read on, but if most of you know which other memory is better please feel free to lend me your hand thanks

Memory speed is generally overrated. Its main use in the real world (at least on Intel platforms) is simply to offer more overclocking headroom. That said, DDR2-1066 and DDR2-1200 both offer more speed than any motherboard can effectively use at a 1:1 ratio.

If you're overclocking, DDR2-1000 should be fine to get you where you're going, and it costs less. If you're not, DDR2-800 or even DDR2-667 are just fine.

There aren't too many 4gb kits available at or above the 1066 speed. We have 2, a 1066 and an 1142 kit.

so sorry for the mis-wording, what I was actually trying to say is 4GB(2GBx2) memory modules.

There are VERY few of those available and they are insanely expensive. Even more, WAY more than DDR3.

You're looking at a matched pair of 2GB modules, for a total of 4GB, correct?

This is what I have and it was a huge step up from my ballistix...it runs cool (with the fan included)...overclocks like a beast (1130Mhz at 5-5-5-13 at 2.15v and still tweaking)...and its actually a good price (for dominators atleast)

my 2x2GB G.Skill DDR2-1000 sticks work awesome at 450FSB (could go up to 500FSB, but my chip cant handle it/i need better cooling).

From the sites I get my parts from, they don't seem to carry G.Skill memory, which kinda sux since i would love to get that kind of memory, sadly I am stuck with other brands. Thats why I was thinking of OCZ or Mushkin. I read Corsair is good but i rather have feedback from people who actually use it rather than read that this or that memory is good.
