More Information

Putting together a new build. I am pretty much locked on my build except for the choice of RAM.

Goal: Want solid stable RAM at 1.8V JEDEC standard
I want the ability to do some OC. I am not going for olympic OCing. Just some minor OC to optimize the gains from the RAM.

My build... (i have a default ram choice in there as I am a bit of a Mushkin fanboy)

Cpu - E8500 wolfdale (retail)
Cpu sink - XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm Rifle
Bracket - XIGMATEK ACK-I7751
Mobo - Asus PQ5-E (retail)

RAM - mushkin 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2ddr2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820146731

GPU - Visiontek 4870 (retail)
HD - WD 640 GB SATA 7200 (oem)
Case - Cooler Master RC-690 (retail)
PS - PC power and cooling 610W (retail)
ROM - Asus DVD blah blah (retail, i need the wires)
Paste - Artic silver 5

Let me clarify something.

It does not have to be mushkin.
It HAS to be 4GB (2x2GB).

You chose the best possible RAM given your criteria. Really.

We recommend that same kit 20x a day over in the new build section.

Hint: If you bump your own posts people will see the multiple replies on the thread list and think someone else is helping you. :)
