I'd go with the ocz 1066 for $47.99 with free shipping.

Any real reason you are updating your RAM?

You will get the exact same performance from your system with 4 1Gb sticks of assumed DDR2 800 as you will with 2 2Gb sticks of DDR2 1066.

The only real benefit from DDR2 1066 is the increased FSB overclocking headroom.
As you sig shows you having an Intel Extreme CPU, I doubt that you are going to be venturing past 450Mhz FSB (most all DDR2 800 can OC at least that far).

good to know. i just thought that 4 1g sticks with the 2 different timings were slowing me down
