I would suggest Corsair over them. The G.Skill has a few reviews stating that getting them stable to 1066 wasn't easy and this pair of Corsair is like mine just with the heat spreaders and I can tell you mine are stable running @ 1333.

Plus with the mail-in rebate they come out to $79.99 which is really good.

are you using 32 bit window vista? cause i was thinking about getting 64 bit vista with 4gb ram or should i stick with window xp 32 bit with1x1 2gb ?

Get the Crucial Ballstix, they use Micron chips and overclocks like a champ. I have mine running at 4-4-4-12 at 1020mhz and is prime stable and memtest stable over night. My everest benchmarks are just sick.

Crucial are very quick on rebates. Something Thermaltake could learn from..........

I use Vista 32bit for now since 64bit support is very little. I will upgrade to Vista Ultimate x64 when it has more softward/driver support so maybe the next year or so. 2GB will be more than enough for XP 32bit though.

You have anice timmings but the one downside to that ram is that its DDR 1000 so it has higher voltage. I can run mine a DDR1066(PC8500) stable @ 1.8v so that gives me more room to OC easily. But either way they would both be great memory. Its your choice right now.
