G.Skill's 2x2GB 1066 is pretty amazing, I have myself a kit, and it OC'ed my E6400 to 3.2GHz, which is a full GHz increase over stock. Not bad, eh? That's my vote.

The Corsair, if only because they don't have heatspreaders that are retarded & won't work in adjoining slots.

LOL @ the G.Skill fanbois who don't even attempt to realize the store the OP is buying from doesn't have G.Skill

I love corsair ram... my favorite brand. So far all my corsair ram (with the exception of this ram I'm currently using) has overclocked extremely well.
