Default Which ddr2 8500 should I get?

Newegg.com - OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

Newegg.com - CORSAIR DOMINATOR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

Newegg.com - G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

I was thinking the dominators with that mail in rebate would be nice but I would much rather get the ocz if they are just as good.

so yeah what do you think is the best to get?

Too lazy to read the whole thing, but did they mention if they used water or passive cooling while getting those results?

Ever Overclocked Before?


I'm sure the board will OC to those settings, most boards were 800MHz while DDR2 was 1066 for some time.

rebates have taken me up to 6 months (corsair), and as little as three weeks (ultra) but average is around a month and a half. I just hope they have some in stock when I get paid tomorrow night.
