G.Skill 2GB DDR2-800 HZs are better than the XMS, but they're out of stock. Those overclock better, and are more stable. Not saying the XMS is bad in any way, the G.Skill HZs and the XMS are both overclocking favorites. The G.Skill's just known to overclock farther (DDR2-1066 isn't uncommon).
agreed ...but too bad my e6600 won't boot into windows with 9x401 fsb at 1.45vcore, then i could start to use the d9 chips...they're just yawning right now .

But i did get them for $260 like 2 months ago...the ddr2 ram price is really jumping up there. Probably the only bad thing about the conroes coming out
