    I'm gonna be going for new RAM 2x1Gs for my Asus A7N8X-X mobo.
    What do you guys recommend brand name wise?
    here's the mobo
    http://usa.asus.com/products.aspx?l1...19&modelmenu=1
    here's what I'm looking at
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...ubCategory=147

    2 things about the list
    1) what's the difference in the 2 kingston models?
    2) how much difference would there be in performance in the OCZ models?
    I don't overclock or tweak my computer, keep in mind.

    Thanks.:cool::cool::cool::cool:
    running AMD Athlon 2500 XP-PRO-sp2 and whatever other updates that were recent lol

    Better timings meaning?
    If you mean overclocking stuff, or anything related, I don't do that.
    But if you could explain it would help thanks :cool::cool::cool::cool:

    How come I've never heard of people using G.SKILL before? How good is it?

    I'm curious too. Those are nice timings, considering how much my Corsair XMS cost for the same timings. That was before a 40 dollar rebate, of course.
