I'm building a new rig next month, and I want to know what the best ram is for $100 or less. I was originally looking at the G-Skill (idk which one... but reviews say great overclocker and it was priced a little over $100).

My system will be (hopefully):
E6750
Gigabyte DS3 (rev 1.3) -- Feel free to recommend another.
2x1GB RAM - _________ -> Fill in the blank!
2x320GB SATA Seagate Barracuda's (Perp. recording)
EVGA 8800GTS 320MB

Let me know, thanks!

Either Crucial Ballistics DDR2-800 (2 x 1gb) or Gkill HZ DDR2-800 (2 x 1gb).

I'd recommend the P35-DS3R instead of the 965P-DS3.

RAM: 2GB Crucial Ballistix PC2-6400.

whats the difference between the p35-ds3r and the 965p?

I've got this. Newegg.com carries a 2 gig set of Geil DDR2 800 that uses Micron D9GMH chips. They are incredible. You can OC them up to (and maybe beyond) 1000 MHz, and you can tighten their timings down to 4-3-3-4. The link is below.

Carlos Slim has officially killed CompUSA. Oh, thanks for ruining one of my favorite stores. I will never forget you, CompUSA. Newegg.com is now my PRIMARY source for computer parts.

I suggest you use the ballistix over the geil and HZs over those, for the quality of the heat spreaders, they all use Micron D9XX and all scale well with voltage making tem great overclockers, the new P35-DS3 is a new mobo made by them that uses the P35 chipset instead of the 965chipset, the new P35 chipset is topping the OC charts, person experience I'd also suggest the P35 aswell it allows me to get my Q6600 up to 3.2 stable(first boot) haven't played much after that, and others are into the $Ghz with theirs, this chipset is an OC beast!

newegg.com doesn't tell you if they are hz! How can you tell if they are HZ??

I thought I saw a post here before with a link to all the memory thats out and whether or not they were HZ...

Wait 24 hours before bumping.

The HZs are a model. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231065

Those, to be specific. They've risen in price lately, they were $105 a week ago.

I'd go for the crucial ballistix, newegg has a mir on those that puts them at $70 for a 2gig kit
