DDR2 Question

[pman78]

I am building a new computer and need some advice on which DDR2 RAM to buy. I have an Asustek 955x motherboard and am looking to buy 1g of DDR2.

Which DDR2 should i buy? I see PC4300, PC5400, etc, etc.

Which brand should i buy? I have always used Corsair XMS in the past but i have also heard that Kingston Hyper-x is also very good.

Any suggestions on where to get the best prices? The lowest i could find PC4300 2x512g sticks is $205 for Corsair and $175 for Kingston.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

That seems kinda expensive for DDR2 533 memory.

That board supports standard 667 speed on the DDR2 so I would at least stick with PC5400.

If your not into OC'ing, Newegg has x2 512MB OCZ DDR2 667 Value Ram for $89.

Again, probably best to shop around Newegg, Zipzoomfly, or another e-tailer for what your looking for.
