Please I'd like to see some proof of that.

Get one of the OCZ DDR800 sets. I'd stay away from G.skill for AM2 since it seems they are having some compatibility issues.

Yea, OCZ has the best timing i see on there, and as i've read, timings for memory matter quite a bit for AM2 (not so much for Conroe). Anyways, i heard with all G.Skill ram that if you use it, you must go into bios and inrease voltage if you wanna run it with Am2.

That's pretty much all that he listed in his link. Anyways, redline isn't a brand, it's a product line from Mushkin. Anyways, don't forget Crucial, they are a huge mem manufacterer.

Yea, DDR2 crucial ballistix is EXPENSIVE. However, DDR crucial ballistix memory is pretty cheap for performance ram, and it's one of the best.

Has a better XTC heatspreader, and a lower CAS latency.

Im not sure about DDR2, but with my DDR Ballistix, i havent had any problems whatsoever. And from my experiences, it overclocks well and mantains stablility.
