guess no one knows anything about ram in here...ill check else where

where all lazy, you would of been better off actually giving use the names and latencies of the RAM, i recommend Corsair....and i havnt looked at the links cause im lazy. the extra for the LEDs aitn worth it its exactly the same stuff when you get it without the LEDs.

Honestly I like none of them.

If money truly doesn't matter, try to get as close as possible to your mobo's ideal specs.
My ideal memory would be a 1GB stick DDR500 with 2-2-2-5 timings on 2.5V
The best I've found is a 1GB stick DDR500 with 3-3-2-8 timings on 2.8V
(OCZ EB DDR PC-4000 2x1024MB Platinum Edition Dual Channel Kit)

If you live in Europe like me, a 2GB kit of this memory will set you back 450€ or 540$. (It's probably allot cheaper in the US.)

BTW: Note that most mobo's will only go up to 2.85V.
Make sure you can supply the RAM you buy with enough voltage or it won't be stable at its rated speed.

You said price didn't matter. :p

If you don't want to run your system outside standard specs search for some 1GB sticks DDR400 with 2-2-2-5 timings.
(Or 2-2-2-8, the last number doesn't seem to have much performance impact)

You should be able to find some 2GB kits for under 400$.
Just remember to check your mobo manual first to see if the voltage won't be a problem.

That's a really good mobo you picked out.
Its one of Asus' top boards. Can't really go wrong with it.

A buddy of mine installed it last week.
Only problem he had was with the mobo not properly recognizing some older Maxtor SATA DiamondMax HD's.
He ofcourse threw out the HD's and not the new mobo.
