I am looking at the following components for an all-around PC (gaming, office work, Internet, multimedia, etc)
Newegg:

I have read that some people are having problems with 1066 memory. I want this to be a worry free install. Anyone know if I can expect any problems with the 1066 choice? Should I go with the PC2 6400 memory? It just seems like the 1066 is a better choice for $7 more.
Edit: If I decide to go with the PC2 6400, what do you think of the Mushkin memory that I chose above?
