Corsair or OCZ for DDR II on P5WD2 + 3.43EE

[xterminata]

G'day,

I've got a P5WD2 with a 3.43 Extreme Edition CPU but I'm looking at buying RAM to match the 1Ghz FSB on it but I cant decide what to buy from OCZ and Corsair.

Firstly I'm in Australia, so it limits things a little. My aim is atleast 1GB and preferably 2GB, overclocking isnt of that importance to me but quality and performance is.

Some I picked out from looking around:

- OCZ 1GB PC2-5400 DDR2 Platinum Enhanced Bandwidth Dual Channel $473
- OCZ 1GB PC2-4200 DDR2 Platinum Enhanced Bandwidth Ltd. Revision 2 Dual Channel $550

- Corsair 2GB (2 x 1GB Kit) Value Select PC4200, 240Pin DDR2 RAM [ Its value any good? ] $282

- Corsair 1GB TWIN2X1024A-5400UL 240-Pin DDR2 RAM $510
- Corsair 1GB TWIN2X1024A-4300C3PRO 240-Pin DDR2 RAM $366
- Corsair 1GB TWIN2X1024-8000UL 240-Pin DDR2 RAM $441
- Corsair 1024MB TWIN2X1024A-6400 240-Pin DDR2 RAM $310

All above prices are in Australia dollars.

Any recommendations? My budget is $800-900 max but love to keep it around $500, workload is mostly with Visual Studio.NET and VMWare/VirtualPC (hence the more memory but its managable with 1GB)

Thanks

after a bit of thought... I'm leaning towards the Corsair 1GB TWIN2X1024-8000UL 240-Pin DDR2 RAM and buying two of them. Does that sound good?

Whats with GeIL..are they any good?

i am getting corsair 5400ul for $396 since they are rated at 3-2-2-8 as compared to 8000ul 5-5-5-9 ..i would say the same performance using either of the two.

I personally prefer Corsair for warranty support reasons

let us know how u went with the memory
