DDR2 800 Corsair XMS2, Crucial Ballistix, GEIL, or OCZ Platinum rev 2.0.

IMO GSkill=Crap. Although it seems very popular with the over caffeinated teenagers on these forums. I personally gave it 2 chances and it failed both times, so it receives a lifetime ban from me. I also read many more negative than positive posts about it.

 

I stick with the brands I mentioned above. Never had an issue with any of them.

 

GSKill is also not on the Gigabyte approved memory list would be reason enough for me to stay away.

Crucials Ballistix DDr2 800 are best.

Are you going to overclock? If so you will probably get better results with 800, if not 667 will work also.
I'd go with one listed on the above list that was posted.

Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800 would be an excellent choice.

You would get more help on OCing over in the OCing forum section. Some good folks over there who know their stuff.

I can either run my Crucial Ballistix at 3-3-3-8 800MHz @ 2.2v or 5-5-5-15 1200MHz @ 2.2v. Micron owns Crucial (same company) and makes all the memory chips that go on almost all Ram sold today weather it be OCZ, Corsair etc...

If you need help overclocking this is the best place to let us help you overclock, under the OC'ing section.
