How much ram do u want?
How much you want to spend?
It'd help to list ur other components. That way we'd know what type of ram u need as well.

i was going to type the names out, but i figured this way you could look at each product's specs and see what i was working with. i do want a solid amount of ram but nothing way more than i need... but i dont want some cheap bs that will hold back my system... so have at it and tell me what you think. and also if you have any suggestions on my rig... and oh yea im running the 6800 GS not GT but the GS they came out with last year... i running those in sli, ive already got one and am getting the second.. thanks! (im a noob, first-time builder, so this is like my tutoring session/help desk!)

I dont know how much you have to spend but based on what you have so far it seems you must have a lot because thats high end stuff! Probably aim for 2 gigs (2x1GB sticks). Are you planning on doing any overclocking?

Just an FYI...AMD is going DDR2 this summer...so in conjunction theres a whole new line of 12 processors coming out, and new motherboards obviously. Might be worth the wait for the better product, or maybe for the potential price drops of the current stuff.

[rokkburner]

do you know when they are making the move to ddr2? like date wise? a round-about guess would even help... ill go check out their website
