DDR2 - 2 X 1GB sticks pc26400 - for gaming?

All of a similar price, which one would you go for - for limited OC, and reliability ?

Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C5 TwinX

or

Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-6400C4 800MHz Dual Channel Kit

or

GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit

or finally

OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-6400 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2

Assuming that you can stand the colour of the heatspreaders Ballistix for 2 reasons

1. good chance of it being Micron D9 for higher overclocks

2. Crucial have UK RMA (just outside Glasgow) & excellent service should you require it. Afaik all the others involve RMA'ing outside the UK if your retailer doesn't assist.

Crucial Ballistix definitely. I'd have bought a pair this week if I'd found a place that had them in stock. (I did find a place that had them but after the memory I ordered had been despatched).

 

[FarFarAway]

I'd go for Crucial or OCZ personally

Thanks guys, OCZ is £12 cheaper, so may go for them and pump a bit more money into the PSU
