|  Opinions on this G.Skill ram?
What do you techs feel about this RAM: Newegg.com - G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
it's DDR2 800 PC2 6400
timings: 4-4-3-5
It's 105 dollars and since the other G.Skill went up in price would this RAM be a good alternative?

That looks like some good ram. I have G.Skill, but with worse timings and it has been working very well for me.

dashogun those gskill's are the hk's they are very good ram, they are like hz's younger brother.

those are indeed very good ram.
if you give them a little extra voltage, you may be able to retain those super good timings with a 1T command rate. which would make them very fast.

Hk's are exceptional modules. You honestly wont see a difference in the NQ Red from the Black HZ's in real world performance. You only get good ram that can hit high speeds for overclocking. Just get the HK's and be done with it.
