Hi!

I need to choose a pair of new DDR2 here in Portugal...They can't be more expensive then 200€ and i reeeealy prefer to them to have 800Mhz...This is the list of some alternatives:

-Mushkin XP2-5300 3-3-3-10 1 Gb (2 x 512) (160€) (http://www.mushkin.com/doc/products/memory_detail.asp?id=275)
-TeamGroup Xtreem DDR2 800Mhz CL 4-4-4-10 (2 x 512) (165€) (http://www.teamgroup.com.tw/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=263&Itemid=468)
-A-DATA 2x512MB PC2-6400 Viesta Dual Channel kit 4-4-4-12 (158€) (http://www.adata.com.tw/adata_en/product_detail.php?ProductNo=AD2800+U)
-OCZ DDR2-PC6400 2x512MB GOLD XTC dual channel (163€) (http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr2_pc2_6400_gold_gx_xtc_dual_channel)

If you have any diferent altarnative or idea, I am open to sugestions..

IMPORTANTE:
- I can't find this mushkin in Portugal...Does any one know a shop than export products to another country like Portugal?
- The Xtreem have on their name 4-4-4-10 but they only work at 4-4-4-12...It was a print error by the company..LOL!
- The OCZ apear to be the worst memory and they run at 5-5-5...


My System:

AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core 4600+ em AM2
Asus CROSSHAIR



Hasta and thanks!!

Out of those choices, the Mushkin stands out. - Myself, I'd go for DDR2-800, but you'll pay more of course. With Mushkin at 3-3-3-10 DDR2-667, you'll probably easily squeeze DDR2-800 at Cas4

OCZ has a really bad compatibility track record.

Corsair makes good stuff too, but couldn't find anything that beats the Mushkin for price.

That is some very good memory - I would have bought it instead of Corsair, if it wasn't for price. I'm not sure of your currency, but I think that equates to about $255USD, a little pricey for a 1GB kit (2 X512MB). In US, the 2GB kit costs about $380.
