Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model 996527

Pros: Qualified as one of the cheapest basic DDR2 sets I could find. 2 GB at 800 MHz backed by Mushkins lifetime warranty. Have fairly heavy duty heat spreaders for being so cheap, I was surprised. Run cool and stable at recommended speed and voltage. Dual channel set.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I used this set to upgrade an old Dell XPS 410. Incredibly, it recognized the memory and set it to 800 MHz on it's own. I was impressed by this kit, and I'm used to high end memory. If you're looking at the 2 GB sets of DDR2, this is by far the best choice. Only one other set comes with heat spreaders, but not the warranty you get with Mushkin. Mushkin memory is reliable and has overhead for over clocking. Very happy.

Pros: Nice looking.

Cons: Installed in Intel DG965WH motherboard with core 2 6600 processor. Running at 5-5-5-18 (default), memtest test #5 fails. When running single modules, one reports 1 error on about every 5 runs. The other reports about 4-5 errors on every run. Also fails on 5-5-5-15 setting.

Overall Review: Its not consistent with what others have reported when using the DG965WH. So maybe I just got a bad pair.
