Memory for my new rig

[Zerphed]

Which one to take? The availability on the g.skill is a bit poor here, but all the rams are exactly the same price (99€). Was just wondering. What does the parity in ram mean by the way?

Parity is when the RAM uses an extra bit to each byte of information for error checking.

Oh, I see, its the same as ECC then. Well how about which memory to choose? Thanks for your answer .

EDIT: I'm intending to overclock these to 850 - 900.

I'd have to say my favorite of the three brands is Mushkin, not only because I like the brand, but the timings are the best on that kit. As far as overclocking them, I don't know which would be best. I do know you can get the OCZ reaper kit for roughly the same price and they overclock fairly well. I am a big fan of OCZ and I usually only buy OCZ for my own computers.
