My recommendation is that you buy DDR2 800 memory instead of DDR2 667,
the price is almost the same and it will give you more timing margin if
you run it at 667 or 533 instead of 800. 2G DIMMs are double sided so
they present twice the load as a single sided DIMM which can lead to
problems. I'm using 8G of GSKILL DDR2 800 RAM running at 601MHz in my
system (the 601 is because I'm overclocking my 6700 to 3GHz, the basic
clock is set to 300 instead of 266, if you multiply 533 * 300/266 you get
601).

Thanks for that info... I was thinking of Kingston's KVR667D2N5K2/4G
but then I'll consider the KVR800D2N5K2/4G.

I was thinking about these modules because they're listed as
compatible
with both the Asus P5B-VM mobo and Intel's "Desktop Board DG965WH"
which I'm also considering (tough I've read strange thing about people
being
forced to run the 8 GB at 667 if they were using 8 GB on that Intel
chipset).


My system has been running 24/7 for 15 months without a problem.

And what system would that be ? Mobo / CPU ?
