Default Moar ram!

Hello,
I just upgraded my system to the spec's below. I have search the forums and gotten some ideas and check out the gigabyte website for supported RAM. I have 4 Gbs of 667, and want to upgrade. I was thinking of 800, was told by some one to get closer timings. But i wanted to get some other opinions. I have a budget of $150 US. So what are some ideas, I mostly game.

Thanks for your ideas.

These are by far the best ddr2 kits on the market right now, good luck finding them.

4GB is usually more then enough. What do you do with your system?

actually, the more ram you have the longer it takes your computer to, well, do whatever it does. I would stick with a fast set of 4gb.
and I don't think you can do 6gb with that motherboard (at least without mixing/matching).
