Well I already picked this one...
G.SKILL 800

They are great, have the best price/performance ratio and they do 1000 anyway.

Great purchase!!

Hey, welcome to the forums :)

You link to a very vast variety of kits there...might be helpful if you could explain what the primary goal is?
Price?
Overclockability?

How about what system are these going into?

All that would help with making recommendations.

Cheex & I both own that G.Skill kit he mentioned, but we have somewhat differing opinions on it ;)

I wouldn't buy it again, since they don't OC all that well compared to the good DDR2-800 kits.
He loves his though ;)

My suggestion for a cheaper kit would be this Geil: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16820144216
Or this Mushkin:

If you don't mind spending a bit more, i'd suggest what i run in my main system:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16820146726

It might be rated @ DDR2-800, but it will generally clock to DDR2-1050-1100 speeds depending on voltage/skill/luck.

(Or just get a DDR2-1000 kit if you want to be sure.)
