New Build - need input on memory please

[drmcgahey]

Hi Guys:

Doing an affordable build for an office system - which has been known to see some light gaming in the past - and need some input. Here is the board and CPU I'm putting together:

MSI K9A2 Platinum AM2+/AM2 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 7750 Kuma 2.7GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache 2MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 95W Dual-Core black edition Processor

First off, I'm blown away at how cheap memory is since the last build. With that said, I'm really lost in terms of voltage and timing (really, I have no idea). I'm not overclocking. I simply want solid memory and a stable system out of the box.

I'm looking for 2x2GB of DDR2 1066, and hoping you guys might recommend something with performance/timing/voltage in mind as it seems price is fairly similar for the most part.

Thanks all!! Grateful as always.

Timing will not matter when it comes to real life performance.
As for 4GB DDR2 1066 kits, I would look at the Mushkin & G. Skill DDR2 1000 kits, pretty darn sure those will hit 533MHz (DDR2-1066 effective)

I would use any known brand that fits your preferences at the lowest price as long as the kit has a reputation of meeting rated specs & lifetime warranty.
