Yesssss... managed to pick up 2*1GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2 PC2-8000 memory with low latency timings of 5-5-5-15 @ 1000MHz. Had to spend a bomb on this, but I'm sure it will complement the Conroe I plan to buy in a few months 
Crucial Ballistix PC2-8000 on its way :D

I didnt get ur logic Rio, u plan to buy conroe in a few months. By that time the price of high performance ddr-2 would surely have fallen as even AM2 would have been launched. you could have bought the ram when u bought the proccy and it would have cost u less as well. and its not like u dont have decent ram now, hyperx's arent a joke
Prices of high performance memory will not reduce a lot with AM2 and Conroe out... while I did get a good deal on this kit, it was still expensive. Besides, the next rig I'm building will cost way too much to buy/build in one month man, so I'm phasing my purchases... DVDRW and RAM, check, but a ton more to go LOL

The price of ram in the coming months would actually increase not decrease.
BTW, rio how much did the ram cost and where did you get them from????

Holy cow!!!you spend 23 k for a pair of 2 GB ram!!!!! What do you do? run a company or something???
Can't imagine how much you will be willing to spend on a graphics card or two!!!!

I guess those ballistix are the best fatbody d9 chips currently available. Nice choice though its a touch expensive .
@golden: As of now no chip can do 4-4-4 @1000 or higher, let alone 4-3-3. So unless OCZ invents something itself, its not going to happen. Also OCZ uses micron chips for all its high perf ram line.

OCZ Plans to release DDR2-1066 Ram w/ 4 - 3 - 3 - 8 Timings very soon.
I say uve made a mistake.
Its not bad RAM, but you could hawve go better.
Simple, they're currently not available and I haven't heard of this before
Besides, if I were to wait, I'd rather get Crucial's DDR2-1100 memory but it will be super expensive in the first few months after release and I'm not up for that... as well, overclockers have been able to lower timings of the ballistix pc2-8000 to 5-4-4-7 on a Pentium D system... imagine what you could do with Core or Conroe, I'm guessing 4-4-4-7 would not be impossible Btw Chaos, My Corsair Value DDR2-533 has Micron chips too .
Well, it was announced, i read it somewhere. It was quite some time back. So i dont even have the link.
Ill look for it though.
Well, anyways, i have to pick up a 2GB DDR2 kit in June too. Hope something nice releases thenhyeah:

Man, those are Revised D9 not the original. Also, Many Kits are doing 4-4-4-10 @ 1024(2.3V) and Fatbody D9 are doing it @ 4-3-3-XX(2.4-2.6V). My GSKill DDR2-800 are supposed to 102X@4-4-4-12 (2.3V) already!! And, I paid only $251(shipped). Yes I agree Micron are the best but elpida are doing just fine with Mushkin's 3-3-3-10 PC5300.
@Rio, dude you redefine the term "loaded". Congrats!
