Default Need Help Choosing New RAM

I had to RMA my Ballistix, one of my 2GB stix was bad - err'd out on Memtest86+ a number of times and was causing BSODs. Newegg ended up refunding to me because the Ballistix I had were out of stock. Don't think I'll get those again.

I'm thinking of getting one of the stix below - either G-Skill, Corsair, OCZ or Mushkin. I don't want DDR2-1066, just want DDR2-800. What would you all recommend?

Why don't you want 1066 if you are running a quad?

My vote to GSkill 2x2GB. It isn't the best but very reliable.

Unless you own a set...don't make those false comments.

I just bought a set of the G.Skill pc80004GPQ 2x2gb..
Currently running ddr1070 at 5-5-3-15 with 2.0v.
Gotten it stable at ddr1100 at 5-5-3-15 with 2.0.

For 85 bucks shipped...these G.Skill can't be beat.
