Choosing Ram

[penguinhalo]

I'm getting a new system and I've bought a q6600 and the EVGA FTW motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188026&Tpk=ftw).


Can someone please link me a good deal on nice ram?
Im not sure whether to get ddr2 800 or ddr2 1066
I'm looking for a 2gig set.

Thank you!

All you need is DDR2 800 for the Q6600, even with overclocking in mind. This is a good deal on DDR2 800 RAM:
A-Data ADQVE1B16K 2 x 2GB DDR2 800 RAM - $78

Or if you just want 2GB of RAM, this is also a good set:
G.SKILL F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ 2 x 1GB DDR2 800 RAM - $44

There has been a lot of rebate deals on 2GB 2x1GB ram for anywhere from 20-30$ if you don't mind rebates, look around the hot deals forum.

whats the difference between 4 x 1GB and 2 x 2GB, does it make any difference other than taking up more slots.
