Trying to Choose Good Memory Modules

[BryanL]

Hey, I'm looking to upgrade my memory sometime after I buy my build later this year. The board supports 240-pin DDR2-800's, and I'm looking for some really great help and advice in choosing the right brand. Maximum size is 2GB per stick.

At the moment, I'm using G.SKILL sticks in my current build, but I haven't really ventured to anything different. What are your best recommendations? And has anybody had an experience with Mushkin products? I like the way they look, and I'm wondering how they perform.

Thanks!

What OS are you running? If it is only 32-bit, the max memory you should get is 2GB (2x1GB is faster that 1x2GB). If 64-bit, I'd get 2x2GB. Mushkin is good. I see you have a dell so you can't overclock. I would go for the cheaper ddr2 800 RAM.
