I am a bit stuck, I am looking for some fast high performance DDR2 4GB kits which from my research seems pretty few and far between, I noticed that Mandalore was also having similar problems in another thread. I appreciate that both my XP and Vista are 32bit so I am not going to get the full benefit of all the memory but I want 2 x2gb because my next motherboard has known stability issues with 4 x 1GB sticks when overclocking. So far, all I can come up with are these four kits, the GSkill would not appear to be able to do more than 1100mhz at 5-5-5-15 no matter what voltage is used from the one only review I could find, the Geil....well I dont know, maybe you will have more luck with finding a review than I have had..........grateful for your views on these kits and any other suggestions you might have, ideally I would like 1200mhz+ from a kit!

Dont worry about the price, I can get most of these cheaper elsewhere but these were the first searches of the product I came across.

and link 2 is 4x1GB ;)

the best I saw was like 560 at best, altho he was only using 2.0V

the Gskills seem to have a compatable mobo list as well....http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=176859

From what I have read so far, the Geil Black Dragon Evo 1's seem marginally the best but not quite 1200mhz, but they are a fair bit more expensive than the GSkill.
