Default Need new ram!

Well I tried reading through a bunch of threads, found a bunch of great examples, but I'm still having trouble pin-pointing the right kit for me.

My Ballistix died for those curious.

I run my FSB at 423 x9.

My budget is <$90. The cheaper the better but I'll pay the extra for performance and stability. Looking for a 2x2 kit.

Some set's I've considered:

Corsair XMS DDR2- 800: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145184
Really cheap. Supposedly have the micron d9 chips so I can push them to 843MHz. (1:1)

Corsair Dominators DDR2-1066: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145197
Great deal, but still twice as much as the XMS2s. Won't need to overclock, but seems a little excessive for my E8400 OC speeds. Need to double check if they'll fit under my AC7 Pro.

G.Skill PI Black DDR2-800: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231209
Good price for me. Slight overclock needed. Willing to give G.Skill a shot since they're so highly praised on these forums. Need to check if they'll fit.

G.Skill DDR2-1000: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231174
$10 more then the DDR2-800, no overclock needed. G.Skill +1. Need to check if they'll fit.

Why not throw in some Mushkins?

I've also heard good things about OCZ. I would pick Dominators over G.Skill. I was just in a thread and some said that Dominators can hit 1200 with a 2x2 kit.
