What's your price range...? As a general rule I tend to go with either Corsair or Mushkin...that's just me though. I find that mushkin tends to care more about their customers, but that's just my personal experience. Plus their memory (at least the Higher-end modules) are all backed with a lifetime warranty...

Eh, hard to recommend any of those considering the price premium and even with water-cooled, heavy overclocking the fastest you'll run the RAM 1:1 is DDR2-1000, or PC2-8000. Reason being the E6850 will peak around 500Mhz FSB at 4Ghz clock speed; 500 x 2 = DDR2-1000. Either look at cheaper PC2-8500 or honestly most quality DDR2-800 will reach DDR2-1000 with relaxed timings.

Just looking at the OCZ PC2-8000 Titanium Alpha VX2. why on earth is this stuff 549 for 2GB. The timings are a BIT better but 300 dollars better?
