my other motherboard seems to have broke so it needs to be replaced ddr2 probably 1060 cause i will oc a little about 1ghz oc unless with that amount of oc will 800 ram will work just fine?? so whats the best brand of ram? probably a 2gb stick btw im not doing anything serious in photoshop or 3dmodeling or anything

I think there's no 'best' RAM. It would depend on your individual needs. I wouldn't know off-hand what would OC best on your board, so I'll leave that to the experts. Generally, I think you'll see a lot of Corsair Dominator, OCZ Reaper, Patriots.. DDR2-1066 are great bargains.

Thought I'd start ya out. 

Crucial is my brand of choice.

Other good brands include Patroiot, Corsair, etc.

Oh ya, left out the Crucial, great RAM as well. Might at well go 2 Gb of 800.. since it's cheap.  I'm not saying buy it *becuase* it's cheap, jus that apps in XP will use the extra kick of RAM. Who do you do with the system mostly?

wow!  im just wondering would i be better  to use 1 stick of 2gb or 2  1gb sticks?

I'm not sure what'd you gain with either. Except extra open slots with a single stick. If you don't plan on upgrading, I think you get cheaper with 2x1. IDK, anyone?

cool. any CL4 sticks? btw, compruler, pardon the misunderstanding of your Q. at 1st.

Well, you can change in BIOS, but (i'd have to look back) weren't you talking OC? You'll have a tougher time keepin stable at CL4. But I was choose the Patriot of the 2. no tech reason, just personal pref.
