Hopeuflly some smarter people than I can help me. I'm totally clueless over which modules to buy for this motherboard. How do these choices sound:

Corsair XMS2 Dominator TWIN2X2048-6400C4 2X1GB PC6400 CL 4-4-4-12
OCZ Special Ops Urban Elite PC2-6400 CL4-4-3-15
OCZ Platinum XTC OCZ2P800R22GK PC2-6400 Rev2 4-4-4-15
G.Skill Extreme F2-6400CL4D-2GBPK 2GB PC2-6400 CL4-4-4-12
G.Skill Extreme F2-6400CL4D-2GBHK 2GB PC2-6400 CL4-4-3-?
G.Skill Extreme F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ 2GB PC2-6400 CL4-4-4-12
Team Xtreem PC2-6400 2GB 2X1GB DDR2-800 CL 4-4-4-10
Team Xtreem Dark Series PC2-6400 2GB 2xX1GB DDR2-800 4-4-4-12

The OCZ Platinum are the cheapest, the Corsair Dominators are suprisingly the most expensive. I've heard good things about Team and G.Skill, Corsair seems to be an old favourite, and OCZ is pretty aggressive on pricing.

My goals are:
Stability
Ease of use (i.e. can i plug the modules in and boot the system on the first go?)
Minimal overclocking (though that would be much farther down the road once I gain some knowledge; for now everything is stock)

Thank you all for your help.
 
Team Extreme has built a very good rep as has G.Skill.


2GBPK has caught my attention. They use different IC but seem to OC decently for the price. You want Micron IC and the TEam uses them and the G.Skill HZ.


Corsair is WAY overrated in my book and OCZ is ok.
