Which should I choose? These are all around the same price after rebate:

CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145184)
CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 1066 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145215)
Patriot Extreme Performance 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220227)
OCZ Blade Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227420)
OCZ Reaper HPC Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227267)

I plan on overclocking my CPU (Phenom II X3 720), but I was thinking of just doing that with the unlocked multiplier. No plans on overclocking the RAM.

Thanks for your help. :)

ocz sucks

its ok but it sucks

use Gskill 8000 ram you can run 4gb at dr800 at 2.1v 4-4-4-12 to 5-5-5-15 at 1100+fsb at 2.15-2.2v

keep voltage below 2.15 is ideal

set the speed and fsb and tune the system at a give voltage

change latecies on at a time and run orthos in 32bit or prime95 in 64bit with each single change

while some patriot is ok skip them all and go with gskill pc8000 blue sticks
