What DDR2 RAM You Recommend Me?

Hi

So after all the good things about Conroe everybody talked about and because is time to renew my computer I think im gonna get one of those. I know what cpu and mobo to get. Maybe Conroe 2.66Ghz and nVidia nForce 590 SLI Intel Edition but I have a question.
What DDR2 RAm you recommend me? I have seen this one in Tigerdirect do you think is a good one?

I think DDR 667Mhz is going to become main stream soon so thats why I want DDR 800mhz. But if you tell me that DDR 800Mhz might not perform good then recommend me a DDR 667mhz so I can find on tigerdirect.

That RAM should be good and I recommend that you do get DDR2 800 even if you don't need it yet (there's always tomorrow). But I haven't seen any nForce 500's that are for Intel yet, not saying they don't exist just that I haven't seen them.

Also, unless you have to have the very best or are planning on tweaking every setting in existance the 570 SLI would probably be a better choice. They are much cheaper and only lack some tweakbility and some uneeded features. Just MHO.

Well yeah because DDR 667 has become an standard thats why im looking for 800mhz. Also there are not yet nforce 500 series for intel available yet but there will. and im waiting for them. no matter what im gettin the enthusiast 590

Thanks for your reply

OK one question. Should I buy Unbuffered or Buffered memory? ECC or Non-ECC? I think ECC is more expensive right? thats why not everybody buys them.

Now is there any better deal like 2x512. Im not really looking for 2Gb. I need 1GB and if I find a good deal for 2Gb, then I might get it. Please I would prefer products from tigerdirect since is the place I more trusth.

One word: SLOW!!!

Never buy ECC unless you are building a corporate level server. If I remember correctly buffering has little benefit as well, better to buy unbuffered and save the money.
