Right. Im thinking of selling off my odd arangement of 4*512mb sticks, Two OCZ premier and two kingston value, and replacing them with 2 high rated 1gb sticks. I've found some very tempting looking G.Skill HZ PC4000 for a good price. Is this stuff any good? Or am i better of sepnding a little more and getting plain XMS from scan rated at the same speed?

Whatever you do mate, check out Specialtech to see if they have something nice you can take advantage of with you 10% disco.

I'm more than happy with my G.Skill PC4800. Clocks slightly higher than my old OCZ PC4800, but that was good stuff too :D

This G.Skill isn't likely to crap out on me or anything then?

I've been running G.Skill in my rig for the past 4 months (maybe more) at 2.8v 310mhz without a hitch.
 
I have 2 sets of 2x1gb G.Skill DDR500 HZ. One of them runs at 282mhz 3-4-7-3 1T and the other runs at 277mhz 3-4-7-3 1T. I have been thinking of doing some testing with all four sticks to see what I can get with them. I would definetly suggest the HZs.
 
Just about any sticks with UCCC (well, the ones rated at PC4000 anyway) will do quite well. That would be G.Skill HZ, OCZ Gold PC4000, OCZ Gold XTC PC4000, Corsair 4000PT, and Mushkin XP-4000. They all tend to perform around the same (G.Skill and the Mushkin are the main favorites though), so just get whichever is cheapest. Shame they can't really handle timings tighter than 3-3-3-8 (perform best at stock 3-4-4-8 or 3-4-3-8) but you get some solid speeds.
