Memory help for Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P

[pooh_god]

First question is 1066 worth over 800? It's about a $40 difference but will I see that big of a difference? I'm building this for gaming so I just want to make sure I'm spending my money wisely. I was looking at this Mushkin memory http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146785 but at also Crucial's http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145197 Any help, opinions, own experience would benefit me greatly. Thanks!

Just get DDR2 800. 1066 isnt worth the extra money.

DDR 800 is perfect, run the memory and bus at 400mhz and you are all set.

and,don't forget to set your timing and voltage in the bios as auto settings
sometime get them wrong. If you have trouble check both tweak town and mushkin forum, they are very good for specific timings etc.
