I'm getting the GA-MA790XT and the AMD Phenom II X3 720 2.8GHz Socket AM3.

Can you recommend the best memory for this combo??

I'm lookin on NewEgg and find that they all have different timings, latency, etc.. I'm not sure how to read that, or choose from that. I've heard g.skill is a good match as well as patriot.

BUT, back in the day, when I built my last computer.. Nothing beat Cosair and OCZ.

If 'YOU' were to buy the mobo/proc combo above, what you would get to achieve 8gb?

I don't get it, how come no one ever advises kingston memory?
It is always corsair, OCZ, or G.skill.
Kingston has always been very good for me, especially the hyperx ones.
What about you guys?
They score pretty well on tom's reviews + they only use samsung chips.
